The Obstacle management service from Ascend XYZ uses satellites and aircraft combined with smart web-based software to help airports to comply with airside safety regulations.
Sometimes a temporary obstacle, such as a crane, is erected close to the airport. This can be registered in the Ascend software including detailed measurements supplied by the building company.
Using the height of the obstacle, the Ascend software can quickly calculate whether the object is a potential problem.
