Mumbai-based ideaForge Technology has introduced its latest mapping UAV, the Q6V2 GEO, during its first-ever customer event, PRAGYA 2025. Designed for advanced geospatial intelligence, the lightweight drone can map terrains ranging from glaciers to dense city landscapes. Equipped with LiDAR payloads, it offers survey-grade accuracy with more than 50 minutes of flight time.
Weighing less than 7 kilograms, the Q6V2 GEO is built to support a wide variety of modular payloads. These include photogrammetry, LiDAR, oblique imaging, hyperspectral sensing, and thermal detection. Highlighting the purpose behind this innovation, Ankit Mehta, CEO of ideaForge, said, “Our goal is to empower organisations and decision makers to see, understand, and act on their world like never before, completing the geospatial mapping picture with a platform that delivers high performance and unlocks missions once thought impossible.”
The UAV integrates seamlessly with ideaForge’s newly developed geospatial technology stack, making it suitable for multiple industries such as urban planning, mining, forestry, agriculture, and disaster response. It has already demonstrated potential in critical projects, including mapping Himalayan glaciers to predict avalanches, archiving Konkan petroglyphs, and assisting large-scale municipal planning efforts in Varanasi.
In addition, the Q6V2 GEO connects with Flyght Cloud, ideaForge’s secure digital platform that converts aerial data into actionable insights for organisations. This integration allows users to transform raw mapping information into meaningful intelligence, improving operational efficiency and decision-making.
As part of the launch, ideaForge also published a whitepaper on drone applications across industries and showcased its suite of advanced software tools. These include BlueFire Touch and Airborne Data Relay, which enhance communication, terrain mapping, and data collection capabilities. Together, these solutions position the Q6V2 GEO as a next-generation aerial mapping platform with global relevance.
The unveiling comes at a time when ideaForge is expanding its influence across both commercial and defence markets. Recently, the company secured a ₹137 crore order from the Indian Army for its hybrid Mini UAVs, reinforcing its role as a trusted partner in defence technology. With the launch of the Q6V2 GEO, ideaForge aims to further establish itself as a global leader in aerial mapping and geospatial solutions.
