The Dutch national partnership for aerial photography, established in 2011.

Two campaigns fly each year:
All imagery is published as open data under CC BY 4.0. The partnership also coordinates the AHN (Actueel Hoogtebestand Nederland) nationwide LiDAR elevation programme. Since 2023, coverage extends to the Caribbean Netherlands (Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, Saba).
Headquartered in Amersfoort. Coordinated under the Geo-Informatieberaad (GI-beraad).
