Mumbai, India — August 20, 2025:
Idea Forge Technology Limited, India’s leading drone manufacturer, has launched its most advanced mapping drone to date—the Q6V2 GEO—at its inaugural global customer event, PRAGYA 2025, themed “Advancing Possibilities in Geospatial Intelligence.” The unveiling marks a significant leap in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, promising unparalleled versatility and performance for industries, researchers, and government bodies alike.
Purpose-built for operation across all terrains—from the icy expanses of the Himalayas to dense urban zones—the Q6V2 GEO is designed to “map anything, anywhere.” Weighing under 7 kg at takeoff and offering over 50 minutes of flight time with a LiDAR payload, it combines endurance with precision. The drone integrates advanced onboard IMU systems, PPK-enabled geotagging, and seamless CORS (Continuously Operating Reference Station) connectivity to ensure survey-grade accuracy in even the most challenging environments.
The Q6V2 GEO supports five modular and third-party payloads, offering unmatched flexibility. These include high-resolution photogrammetry, the newly launched SHODHAM M61 61 MP AI-enabled camera, LiDAR scanning, oblique imaging, hyperspectral sensing, and thermal detection. This makes the drone suitable for a vast range of applications including urban planning, industrial inspections, forestry, agriculture, archaeology, disaster response, and glacier mapping.
Integrated with Flyght Cloud, ideaForge’s proprietary secure cloud platform, the Q6V2 GEO allows users to transform raw UAV data into real-time, decision-ready insights. Combined, this ecosystem not only streamlines operations but also helps sectors—from mining and infrastructure to environmental monitoring—automate and optimize critical workflows.
Speaking at the launch, Ankit Mehta, CEO of ideaForge, said, “The Q6V2 GEO and our geospatial tech stack represent a leap forward in geospatial intelligence. Whether mapping remote glaciers or urban corridors, this platform empowers organizations to act with precision and speed, unlocking missions once thought impossible.”
The drone has already seen use cases mapped out—from LiDAR scanning of Himalayan glaciers for avalanche prevention, to mapping 12,000-year-old petroglyphs in Konkan for archaeological preservation, and creating detailed 3D models of cities like Varanasi for governance and agricultural planning.
With this launch, ideaForge further cements its leadership in drone innovation, bringing next-generation geospatial tools to global markets.
