Tetra Tech won three MAPPS Awards for a single project using the Teledyne Optech CZMIL SuperNova. The awards include the MAPPS Award for Airborne Acquisition and Processing, the MAPPS Member Choice Award and the MAPPS Grand Award.
The project involved a comprehensive hydrographic survey in the Republic of Kiribati in the Central Pacific. The technology used in this project included the CZMIL SuperNova, Starlink for remote network access, Garmin satellite messengers and a solar panel array to support power needs.
“Working for the Kiribati Nation was a rare opportunity to work with native islanders to safeguard their future against changing coastlines and sea levels,” says Eric Woolery, Tetra Tech’s airborne acquisition manager. “Given that it is one of the lowest-lying nations in the world, a complete hydrographic survey will prove to be a vital tool to help plan economic growth, improve maritime safety, and increase coastal resilience.”
