Is Surveyaan V1 a surveying drone?−
Yes. Surveyaan V1 is a professional DGCA type certified surveying drone designed specifically for land survey and mapping applications. It generates accurate 2D orthomosaic maps and 3D terrain models with millions of data points per flight — making it an ideal tool for land surveyors, consultants, and survey firms across India.
How easy is it to fly the Surveyaan V1?+
The Surveyaan V1 is designed to be extremely easy to operate — even for first-time drone users. Simply open the ground control app, mark your survey area on the map, and the drone handles everything autonomously from takeoff to landing. The entire setup and pre-flight process takes under 2 minutes, and no manual flying skills are required for survey missions.
Is Surveyaan V1 affordable for small and medium scale surveying businesses?+
Yes, absolutely. The Surveyaan V1 is India's most affordable DGCA type certified survey drone — allowing small and medium surveying firms to set up a complete drone-based survey business at up to 10 times less investment compared to other solutions available in India. The complete ecosystem including the drone and GeoWorkspace software is priced under ₹5 lakhs.
Is it easy to transport and carry the Surveyaan V1 to any survey site? +
Yes. The Surveyaan V1 is designed with field portability in mind. The complete kit — including the drone, battery, charger, and accessories — weighs just 4 kg and fits into a compact 50cm × 50cm carry bag that can be easily carried by a single operator to any survey site. A surveying tripod is also included in the kit right out of the box.
What accuracy can be achieved with the Surveyaan V1?+
Using the inbuilt GPS, the Surveyaan V1 generates maps with X and Y accuracy within 10 cm and Z accuracy within 15 cm. If Ground Control Points (GCPs) are used with a DGPS system, the map accuracy improves further to match the accuracy of the DGPS used — providing survey-grade deliverables suitable for professional engineering and planning applications.
What materials are used to manufacture the Surveyaan V1?+
The Surveyaan V1 is manufactured using high-grade carbon fiber composite and machining-grade plastic — materials chosen for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, durability, and resistance to vibration. This construction ensures the drone can withstand the rigours of regular field use across India's varied terrain and climate conditions while maintaining its structural integrity over thousands of flight cycles.
What happens if the battery gets depleted during a survey mission?+
The Surveyaan V1 is equipped with an automatic Return to Home (RTH) feature that activates when the battery level drops below a safe threshold during a mission. The drone will automatically stop the mission, return to its home point, and land safely — without requiring any manual intervention from the operator.
Can the Surveyaan V1 resume a mission if the battery runs out mid-flight?+
Yes. The Surveyaan V1 is equipped with a resume functionality that allows the drone to continue an incomplete survey mission after a battery swap. Once the drone returns to the home point due to low battery, simply insert a fully charged battery and the drone will automatically resume the mission from exactly where it stopped — ensuring no coverage area is missed. We recommend keeping at least one extra battery on the field for uninterrupted survey operations.
How many batteries are included with the Surveyaan V1?+
The standard Surveyaan V1 kit comes with one battery. Additional batteries can be requested at any time and are strongly recommended for field operations — particularly for larger survey areas that require multiple flights. We recommend that every operator carries at least one extra fully charged battery to the field to take full advantage of the resume functionality and maximise daily survey output.
Can the Surveyaan V1 be operated in high wind or rain conditions? +
The Surveyaan V1 is rated for wind resistance of up to 25 km/hr and is not recommended for use in wind speeds exceeding this limit or in rain conditions. If rainfall begins during an active survey mission, the drone is equipped with failsafe features that will automatically return it to the home point and land safely — protecting both the drone and your survey data. Always check local weather conditions before deploying the Surveyaan V1 on any survey mission.
