Airbus 3D and Elevation Portfolio | Highly Precise 2D & 3D Information on a Global Scale
Enhancing your data with our highly precise range of geospatial information
Reaching new heights with our versatile multidimensional layers
Enhance your applications with our highly precise range of 3D and elevation products: discover our Airbus 3D World.
Airbus is your key 3D partner, offering on-demand and off-the-shelf digital elevation models and textured 3D models with a wide range of resolutions, available anywhere in the world.
Versatile and flexible, our products meet the needs of many industries, including Defence and Intelligence, global and urban mapping, exploration and prospection, location-based services, aviation, infrastructure and civil engineering, smart cities, and many more...
Relying on satellite-derived geospatial data (elevation models, textured 3D), we can bring the physical World to life in immersive, interactive digital environments.
These 3D representations serve as the foundation for tailored digital twins, accurately and realistically replicating our World in all its complexity. Whatever your needs and area of interest, you will find your elevation and 3D model here.
All our elevation products are available in DSM (Digital Surface Models) and DTM (Digital Terrain Models).

What our customers say
The Airbus Defence and Space WorldDEM™ Neo enables us to extract a digital canopy height model when combined with our own (patented) digital terrain model, with sufficient accuracy for many forestry applications. The lower canopy penetration of the X-band SAR compared to other SAR solutions, and the off-the-shelf global coverage, make it a very attractive solution for our SkyForestTM forestry applications. We are very happy to partner with Airbus on WorldDEMTM Neo."

CEO
We are amazed with the accuracy of the Airbus GCPs and that we can harmonise them so well with other data sources. Without the GCPs, we would not be able to complete this huge project in the allotted time frame.

Airbus 3D, Elevation & Reference Layers solutions
The most accurate global satellite-based digital elevation models available today. With unique data quality and level of detail, both elevation models facilitate a wide range of applications such as line-of-sight-analysis, hydrological modelling, satellite imagery orthorectification and much more.
3D Textured Model - Visualises the world in 3D. Derived from very high- resolution optical imagery, this opens up new possibilities for rapid highly detailed reconstruction and visualisation of large areas. Supports planning and the decision-making process across many of your markets such as mapping, defence, civil engineering, safety and security, insurance and risk management.
Elevation 0.5 is the next level of very-high resolution Digital Elevation Models. Providing the best elevation data of choice for infrastructure and engineering projects.
Ground Control Points (GCPs), are highly accurate 3D coordinates, essential for precise ortho-rectification of aerial, optical satellite images and drone data. They precisely localise ground features and landmarks for mission planning, support the calibration and validation of topo mapping and mobile mapping data for HD maps.
