This image captures a People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy aircraft carrier maneuvering out of the Sanya naval port.
Earlier this week, Gen-3 captured two Chinese aircraft carriers at Yulin Naval Base, featuring various aircraft and crowds of sailors on deck and on the pier.
China's Yulin Naval Base earlier this morning. Explorable in full 3D. We generated this high-resolution 3D terrain from a single satellite pass at 11:21 a.m. local time today, processing it into this finished image within 10 hours. All delivered in 50 cm resolution and at sub-4 m spatial accuracy. The Yulin Naval Base, located at the northern edge of the South China Sea, is known to be one of China's most strategically important military bases. In this image, you can see the Fujian aircraft carrier docked at port, with a patrol boat passing by. Construction of a dry dock and new quays and piers are also visible. Command systems and autonomous platforms rely on our highly accurate 3D spatial foundation to serve as a trusted ground truth for the operational terrain. Our rapid 3D processing capability updates this foundation with only a single satellite pass, keeping that foundation current at mission tempo. All powered by our Forge software. That’s total clarity from space to ground
Topographic projection of Yulin Naval Base from Vantor. Not a new technique in and of itself, but they claim 10-hours (so same-day) from overflight to output of the textured terrain model, so the old "near-real time" moniker is trotted out.
