PAS TRANA represents the next generation of Phase One aerial systems and introduces a new modular family architecture within the PAS portfolio.
High-end mapping imaging technology from above
Phase One Aerial Systems (PAS) are complete camera systems for aerial mapping from manned aircraft. Each system combines Phase One metric cameras with a stabilized mount, a GNSS/IMU unit and mission planning and flight management software. The range includes PAS TRANA, a compact, modular family in four configurations built on the iXM-RS250 and iXM-FS130, and PAS Pana, a seven-camera system with a 48,800-pixel swath for country-wide mapping.
Our aerial photography equipment, solutions, and camera systems feature superior quality imaging sensors for sharp, distortion-free images and accurate geospatial data while assuring data quality from the earliest stage possible with our iX Suite Software
We bring you unparalleled aerial mission success from flight planning, to execution, to final data delivery with high image quality, reliability and productivity in mind.
What is an aerial camera system?
An aerial camera system is everything needed to capture mapping imagery from an aircraft: one or more metric cameras, a controller that triggers and stores the images, a stabilized mount that keeps the cameras level, and a GNSS/IMU unit that records each image’s position and orientation. Phase One supplies these as one integrated system designed to fit existing aerial photography aircraft.
Capture Every Detail with High Dynamic Range
Capture every nuance, from shadowed terrain to bright reflective surfaces, with the high dynamic range of our aerial cameras. Enhanced clarity ensures precise mapping results in diverse lighting conditions—no lost details, no data gaps.
iX Suite
Seamless workflow,
quality assured from the earliest stage
Experience streamlined mission planning with iX Plan—initiate planning by selecting your Phase One system, automatically generating flight lines and controlling project costs. Elevate your mapping project with iX Flight Pro, ensuring precise mission execution and increased efficiency with instant images review and replan while flying. Streamline your workflow with iX Process for immediate image review and adjustments without need of pre-processing.
Is Bayer Pattern better than Pan Sharpening?
Yes! With Bayer Pattern Image Sensors, fewer cameras are needed per ground area which means that a multi-camera system can cover more area and/or provide higher resolution than a Pan Sharpening solution.
Upgrading to Phase One next-generation systems has improved our quality, timeliness, and made both our collection and processing more efficient and streamlined. The investment has been well worth the return
The Phase One Aerial Solution provided us with a complete turnkey aerial imaging solution, compact in size, light in weight and flexible enough to use our current fleet of aircraft, to improve productivity, and bid on bigger projects.
The Phase One 280MP Aerial Solution gives us assurance in the data we're acquiring. There's now a certain confidence that when the system goes out into the field that we're getting good results every time, the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an aerial camera system?
It is a complete set of equipment for aerial mapping: metric cameras, a controller, a stabilized mount and a GNSS/IMU unit, working together in one system.
What is PAS TRANA?
PAS TRANA is Phase One’s next-generation family of compact, modular aerial mapping systems, in four configurations built on the iXM-RS250 and iXM-FS130 cameras.
How is a Phase One aerial camera system mounted in an aircraft?
The cameras sit on a Somag stabilized mount, which keeps them level during flight. The systems are designed to fit existing aerial photography aircraft.
Which Phase One aerial system should I choose?
PAS TRANA for a compact, modular system you can configure around your aircraft and mission. PAS Pana for country-wide mapping, with a 48,800-pixel swath at 2.5 to 30 cm GSD.
