In-Field Check & Flight Review Tool
CYAN is SmartDrone's in-field check software that confirms data quality before crews leave the job site, reducing re-flight risk and return-to-field costs. After all missions are completed—but before crews pack up—CYAN reviews the full project to identify coverage gaps, base station operation issues, and payload performance that could otherwise require a return visit.

Coverage & Base Station Verification
Know What You Have
Before You Leave
CYAN keeps you from asking these questions:
Coverage gaps aren’t always obvious in the field, especially when a mission planning mistake results in the wrong boundary, insufficient overlap, or missed edges of the project. And because processing doesn’t always happen immediately, teams may not discover missing coverage until they’re already on a different project.
Impact: Catching coverage gaps on-site prevents expensive return trips, re-flights, and schedule delays that eat into profit.
Base station collection overlap is critical because accurate control is the foundation of the entire workflow. But real-world projects are messy: Base station batteries don’t always get charged, base stations don’t always warn you before shutting off, and mistakes can happen during setup. If a base station observation is missing, projects must be re-flown in full because the observation data isn’t there.
Impact: Confirming base station collection overlap on-site prevents total do-overs and protects project margins.
Even the best-engineered technology can experience issues due to a wide range of variables, including environment, maintenance needs, unexpected software interruptions, and equipment behavior. CYAN reviews mission logs and payload indicators across all missions to help you catch problems early and reach out to support for a solution.
Impact: Fewer late surprises, faster troubleshooting, and less hidden rework so crews stay efficient, and projects stay profitable.
On-Site Problem Resolution
Fix It Now or Pay for It Later
Finding problems back at the office turns into lost time, extra travel, and margin-killing rework. CYAN flags coverage gaps, base station collection issues, and mission concerns on-site so crews can fix problems immediately. When something needs a second look, direct support connects your team with SmartDrone specialists to troubleshoot fast and keep the project moving.
Field Crew Confidence
Cover Your Ass(ets) Now
Problems are expensive, especially when you find them back at the office. CYAN helps you catch issues before leaving the project site, when crews can still respond on-site. If additional help is needed, SmartDrone support is ready to assist so the project stays on track. The result is higher efficiency, stronger margins, and more confident crews with CYAN.
