Energy and land management sectors are especially targeted with routine cost-effective solution for large scale aerial photography that can cover over 1000km in one flight.

The latest upgrade to UAS ZALA 421-16 includes a dual-frequency GPS/Glonass receiver TRE-G3T with frequencies L1 and L2 supporting RTK increasing the accuracy of the aerial photography coordinates to centimeters. To increase data output UAS has been additionally equipped with two high-resolution professional photo cameras which make it possible to obtain 3D images with accurate coordinates embedded.

ZALA 421-16 interchangeable power plants have not been modified as the two-stroke and four-stroke engines offer a selection to the end user depending on different missions’ characteristics.
