Gain powerful aerial insights with our advanced multispectral drone surveys, leveraging the high-resolution Micasense RedEdge-P sensor integrated with the WingtraOne Gen II platform. This combination delivers precise crop analysis, corridor mapping, environmental research, and forestry management with unmatched accuracy and efficiency. By pairing the RedEdge-P’s advanced imaging with the WingtraOne’s vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capabilities—and supported by Pix4D and Emlid Reach RS2+—we provide centimeter-accurate multispectral data across diverse industries.
What is the Micasense RedEdge-P?

The Micasense RedEdge-P is a professional-grade multispectral imaging sensor designed for agriculture, environmental monitoring, and research. It captures five discrete spectral bands (blue, green, red, red edge, and near-infrared) plus a high-resolution panchromatic band, delivering exceptional clarity and precision.
Key Features:
- High Spatial Resolution: With a 2 cm GSD (at 60m altitude), the RedEdge-P produces detailed RGB and multispectral outputs.
- Five Narrow Bands: Optimized for NDVI, NDRE, and custom vegetation indices for precise crop and environmental analysis.
- Global Shutter & Rapid Capture: Reduces motion blur for consistent, high-quality imagery across large areas.
- Calibrated Reflectance Data: Ensures normalized, comparable data over time using calibration targets.
- Rugged Design: Built to withstand harsh field conditions while maintaining reliability.
While compatible with various drones, the RedEdge-P performs exceptionally well with the WingtraOne Gen II, maximizing coverage and efficiency in challenging terrains.
The Power of the WingtraOne Gen II
Fair Lifts’ WingtraOne Gen II Aerial Survey Drone
The WingtraOne Gen II is a high-precision VTOL drone engineered for professional surveying. Its vertical takeoff and landing allows operation in tight or rugged spaces, while its fixed-wing flight mode enables efficient large-area coverage.
Key Advantages:
- Survey Efficiency: Covers up to 800 hectares (1,977 acres) per flight with the RedEdge-P.
- High Accuracy: Achieves 1 cm horizontal / 2 cm vertical accuracy with RTK/PPK or GCPs.
- Payload Flexibility: Supports multiple mapping and multispectral sensors for diverse applications.
By integrating the WingtraOne Gen II and RedEdge-P, we capture dense, actionable multispectral data over vast agricultural fields, dense forests, and linear infrastructure—without compromising precision.
Post-Processing & Analysis: Pix4D Matic and Fields

Raw data is just the beginning. We transform it into actionable insights using Pix4D Matic and Pix4D Fields:
- Pix4D Matic: Processes RedEdge-P imagery into georeferenced orthomosaics, reflectance maps, and vegetation indices for large-scale projects.
- Pix4D Fields: Specialized for agriculture, generating zonation maps, stress detection, and prescription maps for precision farming.
This workflow ensures ready-to-use deliverables for agronomy, environmental monitoring, and asset management.
Ensuring Centimeter-Level Accuracy: Emlid Reach RS2+

Precision is critical. Our Emlid Reach RS2+ GNSS receivers guarantee survey-grade accuracy:
- Multi-band RTK/PPK: Supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou for real-time or post-processed corrections.
- 22-Hour Battery Life: Ideal for extended field operations.
- Base & Rover Setup: Ensures precise geotagging and validation of map outputs.
With the RS2+, your data is high-resolution and geospatially accurate.
