iXM POD
For high resolution mapping, vegetation analysis, and wide area capture
The iXM POD is a versatile multi-sensor platform featuring a sophisticated design that transforms crewed aircraft into advanced aerial mapping and surveillance systems. Its carbon fiber polymer construction, engineered for quick installation, delivers reliable performance and high-precision data capture. From surveying critical infrastructure to providing real-time intelligence for emergency response, it embodies the precision and clarity required for superior decision-making.
Why iXM POD?
Our POD system redefines the industry standard by moving away from permanent, single-purpose installations and rigid sensor configurations. With our no tools wing mount design and multi-sensor compatibility, you no longer need complex aircraft modifications to achieve the high-precision mapping you require. The iXM POD’s interchangeable payload system allows you to adapt to new mission requirements as technology evolves, keeping your crewed fleet at the cutting edge of data collection without additional platform investments.
