We just acquired the new UAV, Matrice 300 RTK. The Matrice 300 RTK is DJI’s latest commercial drone platform that takes inspiration from modern aviation systems. It offers the possibility of mounting up to 3 cameras simultaneously with a maximum payload capacity of 2.7 kg and has also 6 Directional Sensing and Positioning that detect obstacles over 40 m away. The maximum duration of an individual flight is approximately 55 minutes in good conditions while the maximum speed is 23 km/s. The UAV is equipped with dual frequency GNSS receiver compatible with GPS, Galileo, BeiDou and GLONASS systems, enabling it to determine its position kinematically with horizontal accuracy of 1cm + 1ppm and altitude of 1.5cm + 1ppm.
Combining Matrice 300 RTK with the new Alpha AIR 450 airborne LIDAR system, surveying of forested areas can be succeeded without the need of ground surveys. The LIDAR system is capable of capturing 720.000 pts/s.
