A new era in aerial imaging technology – made easy to adopt

Copenhagen, Denmark — August 28th, 2025 – Phase One is proud to announce the iXM-RS250, our next-generation aerial mapping camera designed to push the boundaries of performance, integration, and operational efficiency. Built on the proven iXM platform, this new solution addresses the increasing demand for faster missions, simplified workflows, and greater return on investment across geospatial applications.

Map more, fly less

With its industry-leading coverage and newly designed sensor, the iXM-RS250 enables operators to complete mapping missions significantly faster. By reducing flight time by 25–30% and requiring up to 38% fewer images, the system cuts fuel costs, reduces aircraft hours, and extends the lifespan of your equipment all while maximizing productivity in the air.

High resolution, minimum storage

The iXM-RS250 introduces Phase One’s new IIQ-X compression format, delivering up to 90% smaller files than traditional 16-bit TIFFs while maintaining unrivaled image quality. The optimized data format integrates seamlessly with leading geospatial workflows, accelerating the path from image capture to final deliverables.

One camera, every mission

Designed for maximum versatility, the iXM-RS250 is supported by a brand-new range of six lenses, developed specifically to unlock the full potential of its new Sony IMX811 sensor. Whether deployed in hybrid, compact, or oblique system configurations, this camera is ready for any mission from dense cityscapes to long corridors and wide area mapping. Its drop-in compatibility with existing iXM setups ensures a seamless upgrade without disrupting established operations.
