GoUAV supplies advanced survey drones for professional mapping, aerial surveying and geospatial data collection across South Africa. Our enterprise drone platforms deliver centimetre-level accuracy using RTK positioning, LiDAR technology and high-resolution photogrammetry systems engineered for mining, construction, agriculture and infrastructure projects.
From RTK-enabled mapping drones to precision LiDAR payloads and cloud-based mission planning software, our mapping ecosystem improves efficiency, reduces field time and produces reliable survey-grade deliverables compatible with leading GIS and CAD platforms.
Drone solutions are transforming Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) by enabling teams to map, model and digitize assets with greater speed and precision. By automating data capture and integrating intelligent processing software, survey drones streamline workflows and improve project visibility across every stage of development.
Increase the efficiency of geographic information collection and streamline data processing using integrated drone, RTK and mapping software solutions. Automated flight planning and cloud-based mission control reduce manual fieldwork and accelerate turnaround times.
Save on equipment, labour and rework costs by automating aerial data collection and analysis. Survey drones reduce time spent on site while improving the consistency of outputs.
Capture accurate aerial data to generate industry-standard outputs such as:
Digital Surface Models (DSM)
Digital Ortho mosaics (DOM)
3D terrain models
Volumetric measurements
Point cloud data
These deliverables integrate seamlessly into professional engineering and GIS workflows.
Drone solutions collect accurate, geo-tagged aerial data rapidly across large areas. Integrated photogrammetry and LiDAR processing software converts captured imagery into standardized survey outputs with centimetre-level accuracy.

A survey drone is a professional UAV equipped with RTK positioning, high-resolution photogrammetry cameras or LiDAR sensors to capture accurate aerial data for mapping, terrain modelling and volumetric analysis. Survey drones are used in industries such as mining, construction, agriculture and infrastructure development.
RTK-enabled survey drones can achieve centimetre-level positional accuracy when used with a base station or network RTK correction service. Accuracy depends on GNSS signal conditions, flight parameters and proper workflow setup.
Photogrammetry uses high-resolution images to generate 2D and 3D models through software processing. LiDAR uses laser pulses to measure distances and create detailed terrain point clouds, even through vegetation. LiDAR is typically preferred for dense vegetation or complex elevation modelling.
RTK drones reduce the need for traditional ground control points, but GCPs may still be used to validate accuracy or meet specific survey compliance requirements depending on the project.
Professional drone mapping workflows typically use photogrammetry or LiDAR processing software such as DJI Terra to generate orthomosaics, digital surface models (DSM), point clouds and 3D terrain models.
Yes. Survey drones can be integrated with docking systems and cloud-based mission planning platforms to automate recurring mapping missions, enabling remote deployment and repeatable data capture.
