We have a long history of being among the first in our entire industry to test and adopt new methods. In the early 1980's we were on a team that developed early versions of AutoCAD based mapping software and were early proponents of digital terrain modeling techniques.

In the early to mid 1990's, we were the first private firm in the southwest to install the newest generation of aerial cameras, softcopy photogrammetric equipment and a photogrammetric quality scanner for the production of digital orthophotography.

Kenney Aerial Mapping also pioneered the use of Airborne GPS for photo control in Arizona starting in 1996. Since then we have successfully completed numerous projects. These have been used on local, state and federal government contracts in a variety of conditions and our clients have been very pleased with the results.

As a leading photogrammetric firm we have made the necessary capital expenditures to maintain our edge in technological advancement.   We were also the first to install several critical pieces of mapping equipment in Arizona. These include:

HELAVA Digital Photogrammetric Workstation
1^st Digital Orthophotos in Arizona- July, 1994
