RPAS Operations
Drone Services
DGCA RPAS-certified drone operations for survey, defence, inspection, and agriculture — delivering actionable data with precision, speed, and full regulatory compliance under UAS Rules 2021.
Our Capability
DGCA-Certified RPAS Operations at Scale
Air Edge holds DGCA Remote Pilot Licences (RPL) and operates under the UAS Rules 2021 framework. Our fleet includes multi-rotor platforms for precision work and fixed-wing RPAS for large-area surveys — all equipped with high-resolution RGB, multispectral, thermal, and LiDAR payloads.
We manage the full regulatory pipeline — Digital Sky approvals, airspace coordination, and post-mission compliance documentation — so clients receive clean, legally defensible data without navigating the bureaucracy themselves.
Our defence and security operations use encrypted data links and operate under strict confidentiality agreements. We have delivered missions for central government agencies, state police forces, and private infrastructure operators across India.
Aerial Survey & Mapping
High-resolution photogrammetry and LiDAR surveys for infrastructure projects, urban planning, and land records. Accuracy up to 2 cm GSD.
Defence & Security
Perimeter surveillance, border monitoring, and tactical reconnaissance using encrypted data links and thermal imaging payloads.
Infrastructure Inspection
Non-destructive inspection of power lines, pipelines, bridges, and telecom towers — reducing risk and inspection time by up to 80%.
Precision Agriculture
Crop health monitoring, variable-rate spraying, and yield estimation across large agricultural tracts using multispectral sensors.
How It Works
From Brief to Deliverables
Mission Planning
We assess the operational area, obtain DGCA Digital Sky approvals, and plan flight paths for maximum coverage and safety.
Equipment Deployment
DGCA-certified RPAS operators deploy the appropriate drone platform — fixed-wing for large areas, multi-rotor for precision work.
Data Capture
Flights are conducted per approved parameters. All data is captured in raw and processed formats with GPS tagging and timestamps.
Deliverables
Processed outputs — orthomosaics, 3D models, inspection reports, or surveillance footage — delivered within agreed timelines.
Pricing
