Overseas business | We, Aero Asahi Corp. (AAC), provide emergency medical services, flying cars, air mobility, surveying, aerial laser, and GIS services.

Electronic navigational charts, which can be called the car navigation system of the sea, contribute greatly to regional economic development as well as improving convenience for navigators, ensuring safe navigation and enhancing port credibility. Since 2012, amendments to the SOLAS Convention, which aims at ensuring maritime traffic safety, are gradually making it compulsory for ships to be equipped with Electronic Chart Display System (ECDIS). Due to a lack of hydrographic survey technology, however, developing countries have difficulty creating their own nautical charts.
We have extensive experience in conducting hydrographic surveys using multi-beam echo sounding and creating electronic navigational charts. Additionally, since electronic navigational charts need to be constantly updated with the latest information, we transfer the necessary technology to target countries so that they can update their own charts.

Maps are commonly used in Japan, but even today there are many countries that do not have maps. There are various reasons for this, such as wanting to make maps but lacking the funds or technology to do so, or even if maps exist, they may be decades-old paper maps, or they may be under the control of the military and cannot be used freely. A lack of maps, however, often hinders a country’s development.
At AAC, based on over 50 years’ experience in creating maps and implementing GIS in overseas, we have developed a system for creating digital map data, integrating geographic information data and permanently updating map data. We have also provided a map distribution system using open source software.
In fact, maps and data that we provided are still used today in urban planning, disaster management and forest conservation, and the engineers that we trained have inherited our skills and are contributing to the development of their countries.

Environmental issues such as deforestation, soil degradation and marine environment conservation are major challenges for countries all over the world. At AAC, we use satellite remote sensing and GIS to provide survey services necessary for preparation of basic data and environmental conservation planning as a first step toward solving forest conservation and other environmental issues that affect countries. We will continue to contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the world through efforts to address environmental issues.

The construction and maintenance of new infrastructure, domestically and internationally, presents both potential and challenges.
We also have experience in creating submarine topographic maps to support submarine laying construction (e.g., pipelines and cables). In addition, by utilizing measuring technologies using drones and MMS that we have cultivated both domestically and internationally, we provide spatial information technology to other countries to support infrastructure management of roads, railways, airports, power facilities, etc.
