Leica DMC-5 airborne imaging system

For more efficient large-format airborne mapping

Hero-image

The Leica DMC-5 is the next generation of airborne imaging, designed to maximise efficiency for large-area mapping. The system captures over 30% more data compared to previous generations, with configurations up to 68,800 pixels across-track for greater area coverage and fewer flight lines. The DMC-5 offers field-of-view options from 36° to 71°, allowing operators to optimise image swath and ground resolution for different project and airspace requirements.


Enhanced operational flexibility

The DMC-5 offers flexible configurations to meet various project needs. The standard configuration adapts field of view and resolution for efficient, high-quality image capture, while the X configuration maximises efficiency at higher altitudes for large-area mapping projects.

Consistent end-to-end quality

The DMC-5 combines mechanical forward-motion compensation (FMC) with the Leica PAV gyro-stabilised mount to deliver sharp, consistent imagery at high aircraft speeds. Integration with Leica HxMap provides a scalable workflow from data ingest and radiometric normalisation to final deliverables.

Proven image performance

Built around the MFC250 optical system and a configurable camera architecture, the DMC-5 delivers superior image quality while giving operators the flexibility to adapt to evolving mapping needs and complex operational requirements.
