Survey grade accuracy, now available for the IF800 and IF1200 platforms
Inspired Flight is raising the bar for aerial mapping accuracy with the release of the new Sentera RTK PPK Module, a purpose-built solution designed exclusively for the IF800 Tomcat and IF1200. This upgrade delivers precision of one to three centimeters for real-world survey and inspection work, bringing dependable accuracy to every mission.
The module blends real-time kinematic (RTK) and post-processed kinematic (PPK) workflows into one compact, NDAA-compliant package. It pairs directly with Sentera sensors and communicates through Inspired Ground Control, giving pilots a streamlined interface with live status, fix type, photo counts, and mission feedback. The goal is simple. Accurate data without extra steps or complicated setup.
Professionals across mapping, inspection, environmental work, and agriculture can expect:
Dual frequency, multi-constellation GNSS delivers centimeter-level precision. The module handles image synchronization through PPS timing, which aligns each capture with exact GPS timestamps for cleaner processing and tighter reconstructions.
Pilots can choose from multiple correction sources during an operation.
The module currently supports Sentera payloads and uses a single USB-C interface for power and data. The system automatically detects a connected sensor and loads the camera panel inside IGC, giving pilots one place to monitor status and GPS fix. Support for additional third-party payloads begins in 2026.
The module uses low power and mounts cleanly on both aircraft. The IF800 routes the antenna through its underside coax pass-through. The IF1200 uses a dedicated bracket and mounting cable. All cables, radio accessories, clips, and hardware arrive in a dedicated SKB case with custom foam.
Mission planning and execution remain simple.
Sentera maintains a full support portal with setup guides, equipment education, and a workflow selector that directs users to the correct SOP based on their mission parameters
Many corridor or linear missions stretch far beyond the reach of a network connection. PPK becomes a reliable option for these situations, since users can collect clean timestamp data across longer distances and refine positioning later. Power utilities, survey firms, environmental researchers, and engineering teams benefit from having both options in one package. The RTK PPK Module allows crews to pick the right workflow based on coverage, distance, latency, and job requirements.
Inspired Flight platforms already carry professional payloads at extended flight times. Adding this module elevates what these aircraft can deliver for survey and mapping customers. The IF800 becomes a fast, compact tool for regular mapping work. The IF1200 becomes a heavy lift survey platform that supports multispectral, high-resolution RGB, or complex LiDAR missions with precise positioning.
The RTK PPK Module and all accessories are available directly from Inspired Flight. Each kit includes the GNSS receiver, GNSS antenna, integrated radio, aircraft cabling, ground radio, antenna accessories, sensor cables, a 6X mounting bracket, cable clips, and a custom SKB hard case.
Teams interested in adding centimeter-level accuracy to their IF800 or IF1200 can reach out to sales for ordering, demos, or workflow guidance.
