Mission & Range analysis for drone pilots

Know before you fly.

Other planners tell you how long a drone can fly. RangeSight tells you whether your specific route can return home, leg by leg, using today's wind, weather, payload, and battery conditions. Import your route and see the verdict before takeoff.

What it does for you

A mission you can trust, not a flight path you hope works.

Everything in RangeSight answers one question: does this mission fit the battery, the weather and the way home, leg by leg? The leg-by-leg Mission Analysis Map is part of RangeSight Pro (free for 14 days); the quick range check is free for everyone.

Check the whole mission, leg by leg Pro

Import the mission and RangeIQ+ evaluates every segment, is it feasible at today's wind, battery and payload? It comes back in seconds with the flight path risk-coloured on the map: clear, watch, no-go.

A return-home check at every waypoint Pro

RangeSight doesn't just check the farthest point. At each waypoint it asks, “from here, with the battery I'd have left, do I make it home with reserve?” and tells you the worst one, before you fly it.

Import the mission you already planned

Bring in .csv, .kml, .kmz and .gpx missions and analyse them as they are. No re-drawing, no re-keying. Plan it in your usual tool, then check it here before you commit.

A quick “from here, what's reachable?” too

Haven't planned anything yet? The Range Analysis Map draws your wind-shaped, return-safe range around any launch point, stretched downwind, pulled in upwind, not a guesswork circle. It runs on-device, even offline, on the RangeIQ engine.

Real conditions, real numbers Pro

One tap pulls live wind, gusts, temperature and humidity for where you're standing, straight into the analysis. Carrying a payload? Enter the weight and the numbers adjust. Battery getting old? Log the cycle count and it's accounted for.

Your drone, dialed in, or build your own

31 calibrated profiles across DJI, Autel, Skydio, Parrot and Freefly, all free. Not in the list? The Custom Drone Builder turns your aircraft's weight, battery, flight time and speed into a calibrated profile. Pro

How it works

From a flight path to a leg-by-leg verdict. In about a minute.

No spreadsheets, no separate weather app, no mental math at the launch point.

Pull in the real conditions

One tap pulls live wind, gusts, temperature and humidity for your location Pro, straight into the analysis. Indicators flag anything past your drone's limits. (The on-device Range Analysis Map takes manual entry and works offline.)

Import the mission

Plan the mission in your usual tool, then import the .csv, .kml, .kmz or .gpx file. Pick the End-of-Mission behaviour and Smart RTH trigger, and you're ready to analyse. Your last drone is remembered, so repeat jobs start ready.

Read the verdict

RangeIQ+ checks every segment and waypoint and hands back the Mission Analysis Map: a clear verdict up front, the flight path coloured leg by leg, the landing reserve and budget called out, the leg-by-leg breakdown ready to scrub. Pan, zoom, tap a leg for its numbers.

The difference

Most planners draw the path. We tell you whether it works.

Other apps let you place waypoints and trace a line. RangeSight checks every leg of that line before you fly: can the drone reach each waypoint, and still make it home with today's battery and headwind on the return? Each leg comes back clear, watch, or no-go. If the mission won't fit, you see it now, not at low battery in the field.

How the analysis works
Side-by-side comparison: a typical mission planner shows the route as a plain monochrome line with no analysis, while RangeSight checks every leg, colours them green / amber / red by feasibility, and shows the return-home leg as a clearly dotted red line because the drone cannot make it back.
See it in action

Less than a minute from a flight path to a leg-by-leg verdict.

Pull in today's conditions, import the mission, read the Mission Analysis Map. Three taps, no spreadsheets.

  1. 1

    Pull in today's conditions Pro

    One tap fetches live wind, gusts, temperature and humidity at the launch point. Add payload weight and battery state, and the numbers are locked in.

  2. 2

    Import the mission

    Bring in the .csv, .kml, .kmz or .gpx you already planned in Litchi, DJI Fly or your usual tool. RangeSight reads the waypoints and remembers your last drone.

  3. 3

    Read the Mission Analysis Map

    RangeIQ+ checks every leg in seconds. The flight path comes back colour-coded clear / watch / no-go, with the worst return-home margin and the leg that needs attention called out up front.

Patent-pending physics model

RangeIQ+ and RangeIQ are physics-based, return-safe models, provisional patent filed, and they power every estimate in the app. We don't claim an accuracy percentage. How accurate is it?

The quick check works offline

The on-device Range Analysis Map runs fully offline, in seconds. The leg-by-leg Mission Analysis Map runs RangeIQ+ in the cloud, so it needs a connection.

Built by Noxdren

RangeSight is a product of Noxdren, LLC. RangeIQ+, the engine behind the Mission Analysis Map, is also a developer API, for developers

RangeSight provides estimates to support flight-planning decisions, it does not guarantee outcomes. Actual performance varies with gusts, battery health, firmware, technique, GPS quality and more. Always fly within your aircraft's limits, applicable regulations, and your own judgment.

Partly. The Range Analysis Map (the quick reachability check, run by the on-device RangeIQ engine) works fully offline, results in under a second, and Pro users can download offline map packs ahead of time. The leg-by-leg Mission Analysis Map runs RangeIQ+ in the cloud, so it needs a connection. So: planning a mission and the quick range check, offline; the full leg-by-leg analysis, online.

31 pre-built profiles across DJI (23), Autel Robotics (4), Skydio (1), Parrot (2) and Freefly (1), all free to every user. Don't see yours? Pro's Custom Drone Builder lets you create a calibrated profile from your aircraft's weight, battery capacity, flight time and speed. See the full list

Free gives you the Range Analysis Map (the quick, offline, wind-shaped range check on the on-device RangeIQ engine), mission-file import, the interactive map, manual weather entry and all 31 drone profiles, no account needed. RangeSight Pro adds the Mission Analysis Map (the leg-by-leg, per-waypoint analysis on RangeIQ+), one-tap live weather, the Custom Drone Builder, payload weight support, offline map packs, fine-tune calibration and saved home locations. Pro is free for 14 days, then $4.99/month or $39.99/year. Compare plans

The Mission Analysis Map is the headline view, part of RangeSight Pro (free for 14 days). You import the mission, and the cloud RangeIQ+ engine evaluates it leg by leg: segment-by-segment feasibility, a return-home check at every waypoint, and the flight path risk-coloured on the map. It needs a connection (it calls RangeIQ+). The Range Analysis Map is the free, quick companion: pick a launch point and the on-device RangeIQ engine draws how far you can fly in any direction and still get home with reserve, the wind-shaped, return-safe rings, and it works offline. RangeIQ+ is also available to developers as an API on noxdren.com.

Take off with the numbers, not a guess.

RangeSight is on iOS and Android, with a free Range Analysis Map and a 14-day Pro trial. Import your mission, set the conditions, and read it leg by leg, every segment, every waypoint, the way home, before you fly it.
