ROCK Ultra — Plan simpler. Fly higher. Map faster.

Experience the ROCK Ultra in action during our Demo Tour—capturing rugged terrain with precision and efficiency. This 188-acre site in Central Florida, packed with dense vegetation, flowing creek beds, and slopes leading down to a lake, tested the Ultra’s ability to penetrate canopy and reach the ground. The result: a complete, accurate model with centimeter-level detail—delivered in minutes instead of days.

With traditional survey crews, carving through the woods for ground shots would take three days or more—still leaving gaps in the data. The ROCK Ultra covered the entire site in a single 17-minute flight, delivering a complete ground surface model with unmatched canopy penetration and efficiency.
