Phase One announced the iXM-FS130, a next-generation aerial mapping camera designed to unlock sub-centimeter ground sample distance (GSD) missions from a fixed-wing aircraft.
Built on the proven iXM platform and introducing Phase One’s patented Fusion Shutter technology, iXM-FS130 enables new mission profiles while protecting existing customer investments and workflows.
Designed for fixed-wing aircraft operations, demanding operators, and high-value geospatial applications, iXM-FS130 sets a new performance benchmark for large-scale aerial mapping, corridor inspection, and defense-grade imaging.
Capture sub-centimeter missions – without slowing down
The iXM-FS130 enables reliable 1 cm GSD image capture at airspeeds exceeding 120 knots, allowing operators to cover more area per flight and complete missions previously constrained by motion blur, overlap requirements, or re-flight risk. By combining extreme shutter speeds with motion-free imaging, iXM-FS130 delivers significantly higher throughput while reducing total flight hours and operational cost.
Motion-free imaging at extreme speed
At the core of iXM-FS130 is Fusion Shutter technology, Phase One’s patented combination of an electronic global shutter sensor and a mechanical leaf shutter. This unique approach eliminates parasitic light sensitivity (PLS) effects at extreme shutter speeds, ensuring clean, artifact-free images even under challenging lighting and high-contrast conditions. The result is consistent, high-fidelity data capture in a single pass — reducing weather dependency, mission risk, and the need for costly re-flights.
