Land and cadastral survey
Accurate maps and orthomosaics for land records and planning.
Survey and mapping
RTK survey and mapping drones made in India.
Saksham's RTK positioning and long endurance make it a strong fit for land survey, mining volumetrics, construction progress and corridor mapping - with NVX support for configuration, training and maintenance in India.
Applications
Common mapping and survey work NVX customers discuss with us.
Mining and stockpiles
Volume measurement and site monitoring.
Construction progress
Regular site captures for progress and as-built checks.
Corridor mapping
Roads, rail, pipelines and power lines.
Agriculture planning
Field mapping before spraying or crop assessment.
Urban planning
Base maps for smart-city and municipal projects.
Why RTK matters
RTK (real-time kinematic) corrects GPS errors in flight, giving much more precise image positions than standard GPS. That means fewer ground control points, faster field work and more reliable maps.
What a drone survey delivers
Typical outputs from a mapping flight, processed in photogrammetry software.
Orthomosaic map
A single, measurable top-down image of the whole site.
Elevation models (DSM / DTM)
Surface and terrain heights for drainage, earthwork and planning.
Contours
Contour lines for site design and land development.
Volumes
Stockpile and cut-and-fill volumes for mining and construction.
3D models
Point clouds and meshes of buildings and structures.
Progress records
Repeat flights that show change over time on a project.
Planning a survey flight
Good maps start before take-off: choose the flying height for the detail you need (ground sample distance), plan 70-80% image overlap, fly in steady light, and check the Digital Sky airspace map for the site. With RTK, fewer ground control points are needed, but a few check points still confirm accuracy.
Training and support
NVX supports mapping customers with configuration advice, operator training, RTK and sensor calibration checks, and repair and maintenance from New Delhi.
FAQ
Mapping & Survey Drones: common questions
What is the difference between RTK and PPK?
RTK corrects positions in real time during flight; PPK applies corrections after the flight. Both improve accuracy over standard GPS.
Is Saksham RTK enabled?
Yes. Saksham supports RTK positioning.
How long can Saksham fly per battery?
Saksham offers 55+ minutes of flight time, depending on payload and conditions.
Do I need a remote pilot certificate?
Commercial operations in India generally need a registered drone and a certified remote pilot under the Drone Rules 2021.
Do you provide survey training?
NVX offers on-site product training. Ask about your team's needs in the enquiry.
