PAS 150 Aerial Camera System
The most compact solution for aerial mapping

Fully integrated system
The 150MP Aerial System (PAS 150) is based on the iXM-RS150F cameras. The system comes ready to work with a fully integrated iX Controller, stabilizer mount, and IMU unit.
150MP Aerial System
The 150MP Aerial Systems are fully integrated solutions based on the iXM-RS150F high-resolution metric cameras. Each aerial solution includes a camera, iX Controller with integrated Applanix GNSS-Inertial, Somag stabilizer, IMU unit, and Phase One flight planning and management software – iX Plan, iX Flight Pro, and iX Process.
- Fully integrated Phase One Aerial System
- Large image coverage
- Exceptional accuracy and image quality
- Optional 4-Band configuration with dual frame sensors for RGB and NIR imaging
- Lightweight & low power

4-band configuration
The 4-band configuration is comprised of RGB and Achromatic cameras, with which images are captured in RGB and NIR bands simultaneously. Data is then processed automatically to generate distortion-free images and co-registration of the NIR pixels with the RGB is performed.
This function is extremely useful for remote sensing and mapping applications in the fields of agriculture, forestry and environment monitoring.

iXM-RS150F Aerial Cameras
iXM-RS150F is equipped with a full frame sensor (14204 x 10652 pixels), and a 3.76-micrometer pixel size to enable higher ground resolution from a greater flight altitude. It provides larger aerial coverage resulting in improved aerial survey productivity.
The camera comes with one of eight RS lenses ranging from 32mm to 180mm focal length, and the 300mm RSM lens. All lenses are equipped with a central leaf shutter to ensure geometrically correct aerial images.
- BSI CMOS sensor
- High dynamic range of 83 dB
- Fast image capture rate of 2 frames per second
- Recommended for high quality
- 3D city models

IX CONTROLLER
The iX Controller, with integrated GNSS-Intertial, acts as a central hub for Phase One Aerial Systems and operates the cameras, gyro-stabilizing mount, IMU system, and runs iX Capture and iX Flight software.
SOMAG GYRO-STABILIZED MOUNT (CSM40)
A small modular stabilization device that was specifically designed for the Phase One 150MP/ 100MP Aerial Solutions. With a low weight of 5.2 kg and a high payload of 15 kg, the special mount system is particularly suitable for ultralight aircraft.
GNSS/IMU system
The Phase One 150MP Aerial Systems are available with different GNSS and IMU configurations to meet your application and accuracy levels requirements.
