Development situation and trend of domestic and international aerial mapping camera

In the modern military affairs, especially in the complex field, the acquirement of real-time battlefield information and intelligence is getting more and more important, most of this work is completed by aerial reconnaissance or aerial mapping equipment. Aerial mapping camera, with time-sensitive and flexible features, is playing an increasingly important role in modern warfare. With the development of technology, aerial mapping camera has also gone through several generations, gradually from film-based type to transmission type. The theory and composition of domestic and international typical aerial mapping camera is introduced from the development situation and trend in this paper. Finally, with the domestic research status, the development trend of aerial mapping camera is proposed.
