Elevation30
Worldwide 3D geographic reference database for all global coverage needsElevation30 is a unique worldwide 3D geographic reference database especially designed for large area coverage for mapping, GIS and military needs.
Derived from both optical (from Elevation30 DEM - Ortho layer & Quality information database) and radar spaceborne technologies, Elevation30 allows a greater coverage independent of terrain characteristics and weather conditions.
The model includes “first surface” elevations including vegetation and man-made structures.
Elevation30 has 3 layers of information:
- DTED level 2 format DEM (Digital Elevation Model)
- Orthoimage (ground control source)
- A set of quality masks.
- Up to 6 meter horizontal and vertical accuracy
- Based on DTED level 2 standards
- Available for more than 65 million km² worldwide
- Rapid delivery
- Ideal for defence, mapping and terrain modelling applications.
An established cartographic standard

Elevation30 provides finely detailed information and close registration of data layers for:
- rigorous matching of map data, for example in the oil industry,
- building onboard databases for UAVs, missiles and aircraft, and for mission planning, well suited to defence, ministries andarmament manufacturers,
- compiling or updating maps,
- checking existing databases,
- impact studies and geological structure studies,
- setting up road and railway networks,
- preparing missions and navigation files for weapon systems,
- flight and landing approach simulations, among others.
Coverage
An unlimited source of ground control points
Elevation30 orthoimages provide ground control points accurate enough to ensure GPS compatibility: better than 10mCE90.
They can be used to orthorectify imagery from most Earth observation satellites—e.g. SPOT, FORMOSAT-2, QuickBird, IKONOS, Envisat—when positional data are not available.
