It’s simple to plan a successful mission
FLY
The MicaSense sensors low weight, low power requirements, and ability to
capture RGB and narrowband spectral bands simultaneously means you can
gather the data you need in fewer flights. Have multiple UAVs? MicaSense
sensors quickly integrate with many different drone platforms.
PROCESS
With MicaSense sensors, you own your data. You’re not limited to a particular
processing platform. You can choose whichever platform is best for you, your
customer, or your project.
ANYWHERE
We know you need tools you can rely on. That’s why we built the sensors we
wanted in the field—predictable, tough, and reliable—so you can gather the data
you need when you need it.
ANALYZE
RedEdge-MX and Altum have five bands—blue, green, red, red edge, and
near-infrared—that our research showed were optimal for sensing crop health. It
simply shows you more. And with MicaSense Atlas, you can see many different
analytical layers in one easy to use interface, and compare these outputs across
time.
