Q.Fly Water
NDMI in real time

Map water on-demand

Aerial water intelligence for every environment.

Satellite NDMI resolution compared to Q.Fly Water aerial NDMI resolution
Data resolution

1000x higher resolution than satellite data

NDMI, the Normalized Difference Moisture Index, is the satellite standard for measuring water stress in vegetation and soil. But fixed orbits, cloud interference, and a 20m resolution floor limit what satellites can see.

Q.Fly Water delivers the same proven index, by drone.

Real-time data

Live NDMI from the controller, with no orbital schedules, cloud interference, or processing delays.

No resolution limits

From field-scale coverage to 2cm precision.

Geospatial precision

2-5cm GPS accuracy for actionable flight data.

Capability

See invisible insights at every scale

From regional patterns down to individual plants, Q.Fly Water resolves moisture variation at the scale that matters.

Regional scale
