HAWK EYE II, developed by Airborne Hydrography, Sweden, is a state of the art Bathymetry and Topography Airborne Laser System designed for rapid and efficient elevation data collection of land and sea floor.
The HawkEye II gathers both bathymetric depths and topographic elevations simultaneously during the flight mission, a unique feature of seamless survey. Included is also a geo-referenced high resolution digital camera sighted co-axially with the laser optics. It is thus an excellent tool for survey, mapping, charting and environmental assessment of shallow waters and the coastal zone.

Examples of Hawk Eye II features are
- Rapid data collection
With an operational aircraft
speed of typically 160 Knots (290 km/h) and a swath
with of typical 100-330 meters the Hawk Eye II quickly
surveys large areas and can with a short access time
collect data from far distance places.
- High accuracy data
Hawk Eye II simultaneously
measures 4000 bathymetric depths and 64 000
topographic elevations per second. The post processed
data fulfils the International Hydrographic
Organisation, requirements.
- Real time data display and transfer
Surveyed data are
displayed in real time on the operator console. The
Hawk Eye II is also prepared for real time transfer of
data by wireless data communication links to non
airborne platforms.
- Flexibel system control software
The operator has the
option to review survey results and optimize survey
parameters in flight.
- Compact, low weight and power consumption
With a total
system weight of 175 Kg and power consumption of less
than 1,3 KW Hawk Eye II system fits into any
medium-sized helicopter or fixed-wing aircraft. The
system is self contained and easily installed.
Optional Hawk Eye II system are delivered in a POD
externally mounted to the aircraft.
- Advanced post processing software
The Hawk Eye II
system is delivered with automated data post
processing tools. Adoptions of data sets to most post
processing software formats available on the market
are offered based on customer needs. The results are
processed within hours from a completed mission.
- Low operation cost
The ability to simultaneousley
survey bathymetric depths and topographic elevations,
combined with a high pulse repetition frequency that
enables wider swaths, gives Hawk Eye II an advantage
compared to other systems.
- Short access time
The size of the Hawk Eye II permits rapid deployment. The system can be mounted in a small size aircraft in one hour.
