Advance Your Operations
Bring Your Team into the Future
For surveyors, the biggest problem is finding someone reliable to capture accurate ground measurements. Magellan™ advances your operations with a robotic solution to collect more effectively and tackle larger projects without the headache of hiring.
Survey Grade. American Made.™
The Difference is in the Details
Magellan™ is engineered from the ground up for the realities of land surveying with features that matter to your work:
- Survey-grade positioning with industry-standard accuracy
- Advanced payload design protects LiDAR and cameras from elements and handling
- Tool-free operation with no payload swapping required—everything you need is integrated and ready
- American manufacturing with in-country service and support
No Experts Required
Ready to Fly, Right Out of the Box
Magellan™ was built for surveyors, not drone experts. No prior experience or new hires are needed—your team can start mapping immediately. Simple flight planning for autonomous missions, intuitive controls, and seamless data workflows simplify setup and software management. Just unpack, launch, and get survey-grade results on day one. Plus, training courses are available to help your team become fully certified for Part 107 flight operations, ensuring confidence and compliance from day one.
Field Proven, Field ready
Real Protection for Real Work
With 20 mph wind resistance, a 32°F to 122°F operating range, and a unique enclosed payload design, Magellan™ offers something most platforms don't: real protection. That same protection applies during day-to-day operations. Sensors stay locked in place, connections stay secure, and calibration issues are eliminated—so your system is always ready when you are.
Works with the Tools You Already Use
Magellan™ delivers survey-grade positioning that meets <0.2’ spot ground elevation requirements. Its INS & GNSS system provides 0.010 m CEP and supports all major constellations—GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo. Using PPK, it pairs directly with your base station and survey equipment, and open data formats ensure you’re never locked into a single vendor. The system integrates seamlessly with AutoCAD, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, Carlson, Trimble, Global Mapper, and other leading software, making data workflow effortless from capture to analysis.
