  WingMan will utilize the AOI or Corridor centerline KML/SHP file provided by the client to design the flight plan required for image acquisition. We employ iX Suite (Plan, Flight, Process), Global Mapper, and Google Earth software to develop detailed flight plans. Additionally, we coordinate with aircraft partners to obtain quotes for image acquisition, ensuring that clients receive precise project acquisition and service cost estimates.

 The flight plan developed using iX Plan will be uploaded to the on-board mission software, iX Flight Pro. This is done utilizing the MK5 controller along with the GSM4000 SOMAG mount on the aircraft to facilitate accurate Raw (Level-0) imagery acquisition. 

 The mission is then loaded into IX Process, which facilitates the preprocessing of IIQ files into stitched, uncompressed tiled TIF formats for Ortho-ready (Level-1) imagery. These images can then be ingested into sophisticated photogrammetry software like Trimble's Inpho or SimActive's Correlator 3D, for the generation of the final Orthorectified (Level-2) mosaic image tiles.  By leveraging refined RTX exterior orientation (EO) processing via Applanix POSPAC software and integrating our highest accuracy Applanix IMU, we significantly minimize the need for ground control. 

 The Flight Architect is responsible for ensuring the quality and accuracy of final edits, data compression, and the tiling of project information. This is achieved using software such as Global Mapper and Google Earth.
