The Geoswift Mapper, by Leptron, is the newest addition to the Geovisualization Lab at Missouri State University. It will be used for aerial imagery research. Watch the time-lapse video of the assembly and pre-flight checks. The drone has two camera options. The fixed-wing construction allows for longer flight time to map large areas. Its GPS offers centimeter-accuracy for tightly georeferenced, 3D products and imagery. The long flight time, highly-accurate GPS positioning, and multispectral capability make this an ideal tool for mapping and photogrammetry.
