RTK Drones

RTK drones or Real Time Kinematic drones use a GPS correction technology that provides real-time corrections to location data as the drone surveys and captures images from a site. This geotags the images as theyโ€™re taken during flight to ensure accurate surveying and mapping solutions.

Benefits Of RTK Drones

High Accuracy Data

Quickly capture centimetre-accurate measurements of open areas of land with the use of a RTK drone.

Fewer Ground Control Points

Using RTK drones and a base station removes the need for ground control points allowing you to complete projects with significantly less hassle.

Ease Of Use

Compared to other systems, modern day photogrammetry has brought about significantly simplified workflows

RTK Drones Use Cases

These are just some of the use cases for RTK drones. If you want to fully understand whether your project can benefit from RTK drones, enquire now.

Agriculture & Forestry

Enable the capture of centimetre-accurate measurements of your open land to fully track and understand your farm.

Public Safety

RTK drones enable emergency response teams, search and rescue operations, and disaster management, to capture real-time accurate aerial perspectives.

Asset Integrity & Inspection

Conduct precise drone inspections and mapping of assets or infrastructure with centimetre-level accuracy.

Energy & Renewables

Capture data you can rely on and use RTK drones to create highly accurate data for inspections and mapping of your assets.

Oil & Gas

Detailed accurate data collection is paramount for surveillance, maintenance and inspection of assets in the oil and gas industry, RTK drones can provide exactly that.

Security

Ensure the data youโ€™re looking at is accurate and in real time with RTK drones. Ideal for surveillance and risk assessment.

Surveying & Construction

RTK drones have revolutionised the surveying industry coupling highly accurate data with a level of efficiency previously unheard of.

Government Body

Ensure the inspection of government buildings and infrastructure is producing accurate data. RTK drones bring a new level of surveying and inspection to the skies.

Drones education

Research & Education

Use the tools that are pushing industry forward to create the next generation of industry experts. RTK drones are used by a variety of industries for a whole host of applications.

FAQs

RTK is the real time corrections to location data to ensure accuracy. PPK or Post Processed Kinematic corrects location data after itโ€™s collected and uploaded using specialised software.

Traditional drone surveying relies on GNSS data to determine the droneโ€™s location which often results in inaccuracies due to external factors like satellite geometry and atmospheric conditions.
