This paper analyses the potential of TanDEM-X to acquire highly accurate digital elevation models (DEMs) on a global scale. For this, an appropriate mission concept will be introduced which allows for the generation of a world-wide DEM according to the emerging HRTI level 3 standard within 3 years. The achievable height accuracy will be derived from a detailed performance analysis taking into account the major system and scene parameters. Critical issues will be identified together with a derivation of essential requirements on both the system and mission level.
