Lido Surface Data NEXTView
Topographic, obstacle, and aerodrome information are combined to create a single, global terrain dataset at 6-meter resolution. Lido Surface Data NEXTView™ is the only high-resolution, global digital surface model (DSM) certified for the aviation industry.
Released in 2019, NEXTView is powered by Intermap’s world-class NEXTMap processing engines and incorporates Lufthansa Systems’ global airport database in terrain computations. This significantly increases the quality of data around aerodromes, where accuracy is vital.
NEXTView improves situational awareness, safety and efficiency for airborne and ground operations with its 6-meter horizontal resolution and 3-meter LE90 or better vertical accuracy. Users can perform accurate height-above-ground calculations, simulations and flight planning. The dataset is 25x – 200x more detailed than current global aviation solutions and is continually updated and quality-checked.
NEXTView benefits applications such as flight planning, procedure design and performance analyses, as well as charting, navigation, simulation, emergency landing site evaluation, drift-down procedure calculations, and UAV/drone and UTM operations. NEXTView data can be streamed directly into users’ applications for seamless integration.
