See the tower. See the guy wires.

Switch between Snoopy ACE 3 and Surveyor 32 to explore the tower and guy wires from the same view. Snoopy ACE 3 captures more of the structure—even at twice the flight height.

Three-angle collection

Nadir, forward, and backward views improve surface coverage and detail around complex geometry.

Compact complete package

The system remains under 2 kg with a 61 MP camera in the referenced configuration.

High pulse flexibility

A selectable 100–1,000 kHz pulse rate helps match density to altitude, speed, and project goals.

Mission-ready integration

UAV, helicopter, and blimp platforms can be matched with the camera, INS, acquisition, and processing workflow.
