For developers

Building mission-planning, GCS, or autonomy software? Use the same analytical engine.

RangeSight is the operator-facing implementation of Noxdren's mission-performance analysis. It runs on two physics-based engines: RangeIQ+ for multi-leg mission-performance analysis (the engine behind the flagship Mission Analysis Map) and RangeIQ for point-to-point range-envelope analysis. Both ship in the app, and both are available through the Noxdren API. Mission-planning software, autonomy stacks, GCS platforms, fleet tooling, integrators, UAS OEMs, and internal engineering teams can embed mission-performance analysis instead of building and maintaining the entire analytical layer internally. It's a Noxdren product.

RangeSight is the operator app. The Noxdren API exposes Noxdren mission-performance analysis for software integration.

RangeIQ+ is our multi-leg mission-performance engine: physics-based analysis for every waypoint of an imported route. It's the engine behind RangeSight's flagship Mission Analysis Map (leg-by-leg mission-performance analysis, per-waypoint return checks, risk-coloured paths), and it's available via the Noxdren API too, so mission-planning and GCS platforms, autonomy developers, system integrators, and UAS OEMs can call it instead of building and maintaining the entire analytical layer internally.

RangeIQ is our point-to-point range-envelope engine. It factors wind, temperature, battery state, payload, altitude, and return-home reserve into the wind-shaped range envelope you see on the map. In the app it runs on your device, no connection needed; the same engine is also available cloud-side via the Noxdren API.

Hyperlocal weather is available on both surfaces too: both the app and the Noxdren API can pull personal weather station data from stations near the launch site, so conditions reflect where the drone actually flies rather than a regional forecast alone. If you have a Weather Underground account, you can connect it to access the worldwide PWS network.

An honest note: RangeIQ+ and RangeIQ are physics-based models with a provisional patent filed, and they ship in a real operator app. We don't claim a validated accuracy percentage; treat the output as decision support, with reserve built in. The same standard applies whether you use the app or the Noxdren API.

Relationship diagram. The same physics model powers two engines: RangeIQ+ in the cloud and RangeIQ on-device. Solid arrows show RangeIQ+ feeding third-party software via the Noxdren API and RangeIQ feeding the RangeSight operator app. Two crossing dotted arrows show that RangeIQ+ also feeds the RangeSight Pro Mission Analysis Map and that RangeIQ is also exposed to third-party software through the Noxdren API.
