The operator app for the route you actually plan to fly
RangeSight is Noxdren's operator app for preflight mission-performance analysis. It evaluates how the selected aircraft, planned route, payload, environmental conditions, battery state, and reserve requirements affect expected performance and energy margin before launch. Built by pilots who got tired of guessing.
Our mission
RangeSight brings live weather, battery, payload, aircraft, and route inputs into one operator workflow, so pilots can see expected performance and energy margin before launch. The free Range Analysis Map runs on-device through RangeIQ; the Mission Analysis Map uses the cloud-based RangeIQ+ engine for full multi-leg analysis. It runs on iPhone, iPad, and Android.
Why we built it
Generic endurance figures and route-wide averages do not always show how a specific mission behaves. Manufacturer endurance and range figures are typically measured under controlled or idealized conditions and do not describe every mission. Directional wind, cold batteries, altitude, payload, and route geometry don't act the same way on every segment of a route. RangeSight was built to make those mission-specific effects visible in an operator workflow. The on-device RangeIQ engine takes wind, temperature, humidity, altitude, payload and battery health and uses those inputs to produce a modeled range estimate for the selected conditions, not a spec sheet from a sunny day at sea level.
How RangeIQ works
RangeSight runs two physics engines built on the same model. RangeIQ runs on your device and draws the Range Analysis Map: a point-to-point range-envelope analysis from a launch point. Wind affects the energy and time required for outbound and return travel. RangeIQ uses the entered conditions to estimate a directional range envelope at six reserve levels, from 0 to 25% battery on landing. The one-way maximum is shown separately. RangeIQ+ runs in the cloud and powers the Mission Analysis Map, a multi-leg mission-performance analysis that takes a whole planned route and evaluates it leg by leg, with a return-home check at every waypoint. RangeSight Mission Analysis is powered by RangeIQ+, the same analytical engine available through the Noxdren API. See it in the app ยท For developers
Built around your aircraft and mission
RangeIQ and RangeIQ+ estimate performance using aircraft profiles and the mission conditions you enter. Aircraft configuration, battery condition, payload, and weather affect how closely estimates match a flight. Pro includes fine-tune calibration using observed performance. Outputs support planning; operators remain responsible for current conditions, aircraft limits, applicable regulations, and final flight decisions.
A product of Noxdren
RangeSight is built and operated by Noxdren, LLC. Noxdren builds mission-performance and energy analysis for UAS; RangeSight is the operator-facing application. Noxdren also offers the Noxdren API to developers, exposing the RangeIQ+ and RangeIQ engines, noxdren.com. Questions? Get in touch
