ideaForge, a manufacturer of drones for defence, homeland security, and industrial applications, has launched its new drone RYNO, a micro category (<2 kg) survey-grade drone designed and specialised for high accuracy mapping applications. It enables users to perform highly efficient land survey operations to develop accurate maps and 3D models. It is the only micro category drone to meet all the stringent specifications laid down by Survey of India (SOI), India’s principal mapping agency and perhaps, the largest mapping agency in the world. SOI has qualified ideaForge’s latest micro UAV for mapping India’s diverse and challenging landscape under the country’s Swamitva Yojana which is the largest drone-led mapping project in the world.

RYNO UAV is equipped with an advanced mapping payload and state-of-the-art PPK module to deliver superior centimetre-level accuracy. The drone boasts of <5 cm Typical X, Y Accuracy at 60 m AGL and <10 cm Typical Z Accuracy at 60 m AGL in real-world conditions. The drone punches above its weight with a class-leading flight time of over 40 minutes and range of up to 4 km. With a minimum area coverage of 1 sq. km. at 120 m AGL (for UAOP holders in India) per flight, RYNO UAV ensures mapping projects are completed faster. In fact, the performance of this UAV is comparable to higher and much more expensive categories of drones.
