JUPEM, Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia Selects the Applanix POS AV 510 to Enhance its Topographic Mapping Program

RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO - Applanix announced today that JUPEM, the government agency responsible for all topographic mapping in Malaysia, has purchased its industry-leading POS AV 510 (Position and Orientation System – Airborne Vehicles). The organization’s Department of Surveying and Mapping Malaysia (DSMM) will integrate the POS AV with its RC30 aerial camera system to generate accurate geospatial data.

The Applanix POS AV is an integrated inertial position and orientation system specifically designed to provide direct georeferencing data for all types of airborne sensors. The system integrates precision GPS with inertial technology to provide real-time and post-processed information for aerial cameras, LIDAR systems, imaging scanners, and Synthetic Aperture Radar.

Brad Koziey, Director of Sales for Applanix commented, "We have been working closely with Antaragrafik Systems Sdn, Bhd., our representative in Malaysia for geospatial products and services, to ensure smooth integration and implementation for JUPEM. The POSAV 510 integrates with JUPEM’s existing TrackAir Flight Management System, providing automated airborne mission control when generating high accuracy position and attitude data for the RC30 camera. This allows for the rapid creation of digital maps, orthophotos, and digital terrain models for JUPEM’s Computer Aided Mapping System (CAMS) and Fast Mapping System (FMS) programs currently underway, plus other aerial survey and remote sensing applications requiring geometrically corrected and geographically encoded data."

Operating under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, JUPEM is the leading provider of complete and up-to-date geospatial information in Malaysia.
