Integrated Sensors

Ground Penetrating Radar

Acquire subsurface data quickly, safely, and efficiently. Combine Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) with drones to see through ground, ice, rocks, and water in tough spots.

Magnetometer

Scan the area and detect metals several times faster compared with handheld devices and obtain geo-referenced maps of the area.

Radar Altimeter

Allows the drone to follow the terrain with very high precision at low altitude using an altimeter sensor - True Terrain Following.

Obstacle Detection Radar

Detects obstacles in front of the drone at far distances, range is up to 40m.

Echosounder

Bathymetric surveying for faster and more cost-efficient mapping of water depths and sediments. The best solution for hard-to-reach locations, and hazardous environments.

Water Sampler

Collect samples at long distances from the shore without a boat with a remote sampling system based on UAV.

Methane Detector

Deploy a combined remote methane detector and drone system for conducting surveys of natural gas pipelines, inspecting tanks, monitoring emissions in landfills, testing gas wells, and conducting safety audits within industrial plants.

Software Suite for Planning, Flying, Reporting

UgCS (Universal Ground Control Station)
Professional Desktop Drone Flight Planning Software

UgCS is the tool of choice to create and execute automated drone flights even in areas with complex terrain. It supports data import from KML/CSV and the use of custom digital elevation models (DEM)

  • LiDAR surveys with automatic IMU calibrations

​​

  • Photogrammetry, circlegrammetry, corridor and vertical scan tools

​​

  • Flight planning in full 3D with terrain following

​​

  • Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and map overlay import

​​

  • Installs locally, works offline

​​

  • Supports most popular drones

UgCS Commander
Streamlined Command/Control of UAV Groups

  • Testing Anti-drone systems protecting airports, industrial objects, and other critical infrastructure by simultaneously sending drones from different directions toward the protected object.

  • Simultaneously spraying the crops in parallel using multiple drones.

  • Mapping large areas using multiple drones simultaneously.

  • Supports all drones supported by UgCS

UgCS Mapper
2D Maps and Elevation Models from UAV Image/Video

  • Works offline in the field

  • Stitch orthophoto from georeferenced JPG images

  • Stitch multispectral 3-channel RGN JPEG images to generate NDVI indexes

  • Compatible with Micasense RedEdge-M/-MX

  • Generate DSM/elevation data from georeferenced JPG images

Drone GIS
Surveying, Mapping and Design with Cloud Convenience

DroneGIS seamlessly integrates into a single map a wide array of data formats from various software, ensuring that no matter the origin of the spatial data, you can share data with customers.

​​

  • Point Clouds

  • 3D Models

  • Sensor Data

  • Designs

  • RGB Maps

  • Heatmaps
