Huntsville, AL – February 10, 2025 – InTerra™, a leader in drone surveying technology, has officially launched Datum, a high-precision GPS Base Station designed to revolutionize ground control for surveyors, construction professionals, and civil engineers. Released today, Datum enhances positional accuracy and streamlines workflows for professionals seeking survey-grade precision with minimal setup time.

Setting a New Standard in Drone Surveying
In the world of construction and surveying, precision is everything. A single miscalculation can lead to costly delays, material waste, and even structural issues. That’s why ground control points (GCPs) play a vital role in ensuring accuracy in mapping and modeling. While GCPs can be sourced from various systems, having a local base for them provides unmatched benefits that can significantly impact the success of a project. Datum is built to address these challenges, offering an integrated solution that eliminates inefficiencies and ensures reliable, repeatable accuracy.

As a seamless companion to InTerra’s™ industry-leading SmarTarget GCPs, Datum delivers real-time correction data, enabling surveyors to achieve sub-centimeter precision in even the most demanding environments. By establishing a local base, Datum provides improved accuracy, reducing errors caused by regional discrepancies in geospatial data and ensuring site-specific customization for more reliable measurements.

“Datum represents a major step forward in simplifying high-accuracy drone surveying,” said Larry Donelson, CEO at InTerra™. “By combining Datum with SmarTarget, we’re providing professionals with a powerful, easy-to-use ecosystem that ensures precision without the usual complexity.”

Key Features of Datum:

• Enhanced Accuracy: Provides real-time GNSS corrections to achieve sub-centimeter precision.
• Seamless Integration: Designed to work effortlessly with SmarTarget, optimizing workflows.
• Rapid Deployment & Efficiency: Reduces setup time, allowing surveyors to start work immediately and keep projects on schedule.
• Cost Savings: Minimizes reliance on external correction services, reducing operational costs and eliminating travel expenses for remote setup.
• Flexibility & Adaptability: Designed for both small and large-scale projects, with the ability to quickly adjust to evolving site conditions.
• Seamless Equipment Integration: Enhances connectivity between drones, GPS devices, and total stations for uninterrupted data accuracy.
