It is planned to provide all the institutions of the State with aerial Photographs and updated digital maps during July 2022 to be used within the activities and projects of FIFA Qatar 2022 events.

The aerial surveys and remote sensing using manned aircraft carried out by Geographic information System Center aims at achieving integration with other data sources that are currently used by the center such as satellite images, mobile field survey and drones.
