Aerial mapping image captured with PAS TRANA

PAS TRANA

One modular platform. Built around your mission.

A new generation. A new name.

A new generation of aerial systems deserves a new naming direction. PAS TRANA draws inspiration from Nordic maritime heritage and the Viking ships built to travel far, perform in demanding conditions, and accomplish their mission with precision. 

Named after the Trana, a crane-inspired Viking ship known for its elegant, purposeful proportions, the name reflects what this new generation stands for: compact, capable, and engineered for the mission. PAS TRANA marks the beginning of a new naming direction for Phase One aerial systems — rooted in our Nordic heritage and built for what comes next.

One platform. Four configurations. Built for mission flexibility.

PAS TRANA is a family of compact, modular aerial mapping systems that combines Phase One imaging technology with flexible system configuration, intelligent data handling, and mission-ready performance. Designed for efficient aircraft integration and scalable operations, PAS TRANA enables operators to select the imaging capabilities, IMU options, and workflow that best fit their mission, all from a common platform. With IIQ-X, Hybrid Motion Compensation, and climatized housing, PAS TRANA delivers high-quality geospatial data with the flexibility to adapt to changing operational requirements.

Which PAS TRANA configuration do I need?

  • PAS TRANA 250: one 247MP iXM-RS250 camera for the widest coverage per pass, in RGB.
  • PAS TRANA 250 Pro: the same camera plus a second, achromatic iXM-RS250 for four-band imagery.
  • PAS TRANA 130: one iXM-FS130 camera with Fusion Shutter, up to 1/16,000 s and 4 frames per second, for fine detail at aircraft speed.
  • PAS TRANA 130 Pro: the same plus a second, achromatic iXM-FS130 for four-band imagery.

The 250 and 130 weigh 21.3 kg including the mount; the Pro versions weigh 38 kg.

PAS TRANA 250 compact aerial mapping system

Compact by design. Modular by nature.

PAS TRANA combines high-performance aerial imaging with a compact, modular system architecture. Across four configurations — PAS TRANA 250, 250 Pro, 130 and 130 Pro — operators can select the imaging and spectral capabilities that fit their mission while benefiting from a common platform. The compact and lightweight design provides greater flexibility for aircraft integration, while flexible IMU options, climatized system housing, mission planning and flight management allow the system to be configured around different aircraft, applications and operational requirements.

More imaging. Smarter data.

High-resolution mapping generates significant amounts of data. IIQ-X is designed to make that data more manageable without compromising the image quality required for professional mapping. Efficient data handling supports faster acquisition and scalable workflows as mapping volumes grow — providing a strong foundation for established photogrammetric production as well as increasingly automated, cloud-based and AI-driven geospatial applications.

Engineered to perform. Mission after mission.

PAS TRANA combines Phase One imaging with technologies designed for demanding real-world aerial operations. Hybrid Motion Compensation (HMC) helps reduce motion blur during high-speed capture, while climatized system housing supports consistent operation across changing environmental conditions. Combined with advanced mission planning, flight management and positioning options, PAS TRANA gives operators the performance and confidence to take on a broad range of mapping missions.

Technical specifications

Available in four configurations — PAS TRANA 250, 250 Pro, 130 and 130 Pro — the family combines Phase One imaging technology with a compact system design, flexible IMU options, mission planning and flight management, climatized system housing, Hybrid Motion Compensation and selected best-in-class technologies.

Complete airborne mapping workflow

PAS TRANA is part of a complete airborne mapping ecosystem. Together with IGI mission planning, flight management, Sensor Management and positioning solutions, operators can streamline every stage of a mapping mission, from planning and navigation to positioning and data processing. Thanks to IGI modular architecture the systems is easy to maintain and upgrade. Explore the supporting technologies that help maximize mission efficiency, flight accuracy, and data quality.

IGIplan Mission Planning

Plan aerial missions with confidence using IGIplan - the most advanced mission planning solution. The mission planning software supports a wide range of sensor types, i.e., aerial cameras, LiDAR, thermal, and hyperspectral sensors, using a predefined sensor library and a comprehensive sensor editor that also allows the creation of multi-sensor definitions. Having natively integrated DTM, advanced reporting, a real-time parameters editor, and statistics reporting tools, it enables optimal planning in many planning modes like terrain-following, corridor planning, and advanced flight-line editing tools. Fully integrated with the IGI ecosystem for seamless mission execution.
