## Editorial
ORCA HiRes DSM & 3D Point Cloud is an airborne derived data product from SkyfloX that generates high-resolution digital surface models and three-dimensional point clouds from the ORCA aircraft payload. Products are intended for city modelling, viewshed analysis, change detection, risk mapping, and true orthoimage generation.[^skyflox-products] The ESA DOCS-2 commercialisation project references a HiResDSM product capability for the Block I ORCA design, described in qualitative terms as a high ground-sampling-distance DSM; no specific metre resolution figure is published by the operator or stated in the ESA project documentation.[^docs-2-esa] Outputs are delivered as georeferenced datasets suitable for integration into GIS and 3D modelling workflows.[^skyflox-products]
