Quantix™ Mapper Overview

As the operator of your new unmanned 

aircraft, your primary tasks will be to define 

the collection area, ensure a safe launch, 

and monitor the airspace. Quantix™ 

Mapper will plot the best flight path for 

you automatically. Plus, the aircraft will 

automate launch and landing, and navigate 

the preplanned route, with three levels of 

override features to emergency-land your 

aircraft.

On-board processing instantly delivers 

georeferenced high-resolution imagery 

on the included operating tablet upon 

landing - no other devices, Internet or 

software required.  Simply tap anywhere 

on the Quick-Look

 HD image to view that 

area in greater detail.  Pinch and zoom 

to adjust the zoom level to centimeter 

accuracy.
