Preflight mission-performance analysis

See how the mission performs before launch.

RangeSight evaluates a planned route leg by leg using the selected aircraft, payload, environmental conditions, battery state, and reserve requirements. Review the expected mission margin, the modeled result, and the leg that most constrains the plan before launch.

What it does for you

From flight inputs to a leg-by-leg performance view.

RangeSight turns the aircraft, route, payload, environmental conditions, battery state, and reserve settings into a mission-level performance view. The Mission Analysis Map shows how expected margin changes across the route, and it's part of RangeSight Pro (free for 14 days). The free Range Analysis Map provides a quick launch-point range envelope for everyone.

Quantify mission performance, leg by leg Pro

Import the route and RangeIQ+ evaluates each segment against the selected aircraft and mission conditions. It returns in seconds with expected battery, return margin, and the modeled mission result, and the flight path is colour-coded green, yellow, or red on the map.

Expected return margin at every waypoint Pro

At each waypoint, RangeIQ+ estimates battery state and the modeled return requirement, so expected reserve margin is visible across the mission. It flags the leg that constrains the route before you fly it.

Import the mission you already planned

Bring in the mission you already built in your normal planning workflow (.csv, .wpml, .gpx, .kml, .kmz, plus .lchz on iOS). RangeSight analyzes the route instead of asking you to redraw it, so you can check it here before you commit.

Visualize the range envelope from a launch point

Your range isn't a circle. The free Range Analysis Map uses RangeIQ to show how wind and reserve settings reshape modeled reach around a launch point, stretched downwind, pulled in upwind. It runs on-device and can be used offline.

Analyze the conditions and configuration you plan to fly 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.

Use an aircraft-specific profile, or define your own

31 pre-configured 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 custom profile. Pro

How it works

From a planned route to modeled mission margin. In about a minute.

Bring the route, aircraft, battery, payload, environmental conditions, and reserve settings into one preflight analysis.

Set the mission 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, .wpml, .gpx, .kml or .kmz file (.lchz too, on iOS). Tell RangeSight what the drone should do at mission end and when it should turn back, and you're ready to analyse. Your last drone is remembered, so repeat jobs start ready.

Review the result

The Mission Analysis Map shows the modeled result, expected landing and reserve margin, and the leg that most constrains the route. The flight path is coloured leg by leg, with the full breakdown ready to scrub. Pan, zoom, or tap a leg for its numbers.

The difference

See where the mission margin tightens.

Wind direction, climb, payload, and aircraft state don't affect every leg the same way. RangeSight tracks how modeled margin changes across the route and flags the leg that constrains the mission, colour-coded green, yellow, or red for quick review. See it before launch, not at low battery in the field.

How the analysis works
Side-by-side comparison: a typical mission planner shows seven plain numbered waypoints with no analysis, while RangeSight checks every leg, flags the sixth waypoint as RTH because the drone cannot safely reach the seventh, and draws a solid return-home line straight from waypoint six.
See it in action

Less than a minute from a flight path to a mission-performance readout.

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

  1. 1

    Pull in current 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

    Bring in the mission

    Bring in the .csv, .wpml, .gpx, .kml or .kmz you already planned in Litchi, DJI Fly or your usual tool (.lchz too, on iOS). RangeSight reads the waypoints and remembers your last drone.

  3. 3

    Review the Mission Analysis Map

    RangeIQ+ evaluates every leg in seconds. The flight path comes back colour-coded green / yellow / red, 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 mission-performance and range-analysis models designed for preflight planning. Outputs are estimates based on the supplied mission inputs and assumptions, not guarantees of flight outcome. A provisional patent has been filed, and 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 available through the Noxdren 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. In short, planning a mission and running the quick range check both work offline; the full leg-by-leg analysis needs one.

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 (leg-by-leg mission-performance 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 $12.99/month or $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: expected battery and return margin segment by segment, 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 the wind-shaped, return-safe rings showing how far you can fly in any direction and still get home with reserve. It works offline. RangeIQ+ is also available to developers through the Noxdren API on noxdren.com.

RangeSight is on iOS and Android, with a free Range Analysis Map and a 14-day Pro trial. Import the route, set the aircraft and mission conditions, and review expected performance leg by leg before you fly.
