UAV-based Mapping – an Emerging Market
The demand for professional UAV-based mapping solutions is growing world-wide and new technologies emerge at a rapid pace. The Leica RCD30 medium format camera and Swissdrones Dragon offer a professional UAV mapping solution that is reliable and certified, provides accurate geospatial information and is embedded in an proven workflow environment.
Leica RCD30 for UAVA UAV-based mapping solution
Leica Geosystems and Swissdrones – working together for Innovation and SafetyLeica Geosystems, the leading provider of airborne
mapping solutions, and Swissdrones, a UAV manufactur-
er, are working together to provide innovative UAV-
based mapping and monitoring solutions that can be
operated safely in often harsh environmental condi-
tions. The Swissdrones Dragon is a mid-size rotary wing
UAV that offers supreme payload performance of up to
50 kg, extreme endurance and a multitude of safety
features. It can be operated manually or completely
autonomous using proven autopilot technology that is
capable of controlling UAV and payload.
The Leica RCD30 for UAV – high accuracy mapping from UAV-based platformsThe Leica RCD30 is the world’s first medium format
camera to provide superior multispectral imagery and
highest accuracy. Its unique photogrammetric design
features make the Leica RCD30 the preferred choice as
a standalone or oblique mapping solution, for integra-
tion with a LiDAR sensor and for operation onboard an
unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) such as the Swissdrones
Dragon.
The unique performance features of the Swissdrones
Dragon combined with the qualities of the Leica RCD30
make this an ideal mapping and monitoring solution for
local mapping jobs, corridor applications, mining and
agriculture.
