RTK (real-time kinematic) positioning is a function that can be applied during an aerial survey to correct for errors in location positions of GPS or GNSS, or satellite navigation systems. The information being gathered by the unmanned drone is sent to a ground base station where real-time corrections are applied. Wikipedia RTK
Near infrared (NIR) radiation has a wavelength longer than the human eyes can detect, and it is located nearest to the section of the spectrum where the human eye can detect. The NIR region starts around the 700 µm – 800 µm. The human eye is a lot less sensitive to light wavelengths above 700
Longwave infrared (LWIR) is usually demarcated to fall between 8.0 – 14.0 µm wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. It is a frequently utilized infrared technology for many drone applications, such as: Farm and crop analysis and solar field scans. The LWIR wavelengths can detect temperatures that radiate off the plants and the crop field. Thus
SWaP is an acronym for size, weight and power. This concept is very important to developing new products, devices, platforms, etc. It is a main goal in the development for projects addressing modes of conveyance. One is always looking to make it smaller, consume the smallest amount of available resources as possible, and improve upon
This is the virtual perimeter restrictions imposed on drones during their flight. Geofencing is achieved by using global positioning satellites (GPS), WiFi, radio frequency identification (RFI) with the drone’s built-in software. It is employed as a way to keep the drone from enter areas that it is not permitted to access. Learn More
Enterprise UAS, parent company to DroneFly, DSLR Pros (Drones, Software, Learning and Repairs for the Pros), and Aerial MediaPros.com, is the exclusive distributor of the Teledyne FLIR SIRAS™ drone. It is a mid-size commercial drone that has a Vue® radiometric thermal and visible camera for its payload. Teledyne has kept data security in mind when
This is the section of the light spectrum that have wavelengths in the range of 680 nm – 730 nm. It is in the area where red wavelengths have low reflection on green vegetation and near infrared wavelengths which have high reflection. It is useful to use sensors that can record this part of the
A CMOS sensor is the optical technology that is used to create images in all types of digital cameras. They can also be found in telescopes, scanners, and barcode readers. This type of technology is used in machine vision, optical character recognition (OCR), satellite image processing, and refining radar imagery. Learn More

The Dual 640T has the side-by-side design for the cameras. One is a high resolution 640
The concept of open source for software development, projects, source code, and the like pertains to the notion that it is available for public use, can be modified and freely shared. It embodies the community-based philosophy where open exchange of ideas and collaborative work is embraced for the sake of perfecting an idea, source code,
