REMOTE ACQUISITION / CONTROLLED VIEWPOINT Approach
The requirement selects the method—not the other way around.
What must be understood?
What coverage will answer it?
Collect with control and context.
Shape the record for use.
A safer vantage point
Remote sensing can reduce personnel exposure during initial review and recurring documentation.
Roofs, elevated structures, and upper exterior areas.
Terrain, geometry, security, or limited entry.
Initial stand-off context before entry planning.
Visible conditions where contact may be undesirable.
Traffic, equipment, and operating work areas.
Consistent records without rebuilding the same access path.
Prysm supports safer information acquisition and reduced exposure. Remote sensing does not eliminate risk or replace required controls, physical testing, regulated inspection, or qualified specialists.
