Diamond Aircraft Industries, in partnership with Khatib & Alami, has successfully delivered a Special Mission Aircraft to the State of Qatar. The aircraft, won through a tender in 2021, was handed over to CGIS (Center for Geographic Information Systems), the official geospatial agency in Qatar under the Ministry of Municipality. The delivery was completed within 12 months after the contract was signed, showcasing Diamond Aircraft’s efficiency and commitment to meeting timelines.
The Special Mission Aircraft is equipped with state-of-the-art mission equipment from Riegl and Vexcel.

Additionally, there is an option to interchange the Vexcel Osprey camera with a Riegl 880-GII bathymetric sensor, offering flexibility for different mission requirements. All systems have been seamlessly integrated and civil certified by Diamond Aircraft in Austria.
