ACSL SOTEN Survey RTK Bundle Plus with Rapid Deployment Hard Case: NDAA-Compliant Small UAS with Centimeter-Level RTK Positioning for Mapping and Survey Missions

The ACSL SOTEN Survey RTK Bundle Plus with Rapid Deployment Hard Case is a complete, field-ready UAS package built for professionals who need precise positioning data on every flight. It combines Japan's NDAA-compliant SOTEN airframe with the TAITEN Smart Controller, the ACSL SOTEN RTK Module, five smart batteries, and a wheeled hard-shell case with custom blue foam interior—everything required to run mapping, surveying, and precision inspection missions from a single, organized kit.

The RTK module mounts to the top of the aircraft and operates simultaneously with the bottom-mounted camera payload, so operators capture georeferenced visual data without any hardware tradeoff.

Key Features and Benefits

  • RTK positioning: centimeter-level accuracy supports survey-grade mapping and data collection workflows.
  • NDAA compliance: aircraft and TAITEN controller both meet federal procurement requirements.
  • Simultaneous payloads: RTK module and camera operate together from independent top and bottom mounts.
  • Dual-band Fides-Link: 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz AES-256 encrypted link for resilient field communications.
  • IP43 airframe: resists rain, dust, and particulates during active outdoor survey operations.
  • Five-battery complement: supports extended multi-sortie field sessions without returning to base.
  • TAITEN display: 7-inch 1500-nit panel with Android 13 and ACSL TAKEOFF pre-installed.
  • One-touch camera: bottom gimbal mount supports visible, thermal, zoom, and multispectral payloads.
  • Rapid deployment case: wheeled hard-shell with custom foam organizes the full bundle for field transport.
  • SLAS augmentation: Michibiki quasi-zenith sub-meter positioning enhances base GNSS accuracy.

At the core of this bundle is a platform built for data quality and operational security. The SOTEN airframe carries an IP43-rated enclosure, multi-direction obstacle sensing, and the included 20MP CX-GB100 with 1-inch sensor and mechanical shutter for high-resolution still and 4K video capture.

The RTK module adds centimeter-level positioning accuracy to the standard GNSS stack, covering GPS, GLONASS, QZSS, and SLAS sub-meter augmentation, making this system a viable tool for survey-grade data collection workflows. AES-256 encrypted communications through ACSL Fides-Link, ISO/IEC 15408-based security architecture, and optional on-media data encryption keep collected data protected from takeoff to transfer.

Precision Data Collection on Every Sortie

Survey and mapping workflows demand positioning data you can trust from flight to flight. The SOTEN RTK module delivers centimeter-level accuracy on top of the aircraft's existing GPS, GLONASS, QZSS, and SLAS GNSS stack, giving field operators the georeferencing precision needed for accurate orthomosaic generation, terrain modeling, and site documentation.

The CX-GB100 captures 20MP stills and 4K video at 30fps, stabilized by a 3-axis gimbal to within 0.02 degrees, so image geometry stays consistent across the full coverage area. With 25 minutes of flight time per battery and five batteries in the kit, operators can run meaningful survey coverage in a single field session.

The TAITEN Smart Controller's offline map support and optional LTE connectivity keep mission planning and autonomous flight execution available regardless of site connectivity.

What is included in the ACSL SOTEN Survey RTK Bundle Plus with Rapid Deployment Hard Case?

The bundle includes the SOTEN dual-band airframe, TAITEN Smart Controller, ACSL SOTEN RTK Module with cable, standard 20MP CX-GB100 camera, single battery charger, triple battery charging hub, five smart batteries, two CW and two CCW propeller sets, and a wheeled hard-shell rapid deployment case with custom blue foam interior. Everything ships organized in the case for fast field deployment.

Can the RTK module be used alongside other SOTEN payloads simultaneously?

Yes. The RTK module mounts to the top port of the SOTEN airframe while the camera payload connects to the bottom gimbal mount. Both operate simultaneously, so operators capture georeferenced visual data in a single flight without any hardware tradeoff between positioning accuracy and imaging capability.

Does the SOTEN support autonomous mission flight for mapping coverage?

Yes. The ACSL TAKEOFF app supports autonomous waypoint-based flight planning for mapping and survey coverage patterns. Offline map caching keeps planning and mission execution available in environments without internet access. An optional LTE module, sold separately, extends autonomous and remote operation capability for BVLOS-capable workflows in hard-to-reach survey areas subject to applicable regulatory authorization.

What missions is the SOTEN RTK Module suited for?

The module is suited for any mission where positioning accuracy directly affects data quality or operational outcomes. Confirmed use cases include aerial mapping, land and site surveying, construction progress documentation, infrastructure inspection, and public safety operations. The common thread across all these applications is the need for reliable, repeatable positional data that standard GNSS cannot consistently provide.

How does the RTK module attach to the SOTEN?

The module mounts to the top of the SOTEN aircraft and integrates with the existing system using the included cable. No additional hardware or complex setup is required. The installation process is designed to be straightforward for operators already familiar with the SOTEN platform.

Which drone is the SOTEN RTK Module compatible with?

The ACSL SOTEN RTK Module is compatible exclusively with the ACSL SOTEN drone. It is not designed for use with any other aircraft platform. Operators should confirm they are running the SOTEN before purchasing this module, as it is a platform-specific accessory within ACSL's modular payload ecosystem.

What does the ACSL SOTEN RTK Module do?

The SOTEN RTK Module adds real-time kinematic positioning capability to the ACSL SOTEN drone, enabling centimeter-level accuracy during flight. Standard GNSS positioning on most drone platforms operates at meter-level accuracy, which is insufficient for professional mapping, surveying, and data collection workflows where precise geo-referencing is a requirement. The RTK module closes that gap by providing the positional precision these missions demand without requiring a separate aircraft.

How long does the SOTEN fly on a single battery?

With the standard CX-GB100 camera installed and wind conditions at 8 m/s, the SOTEN delivers up to 25 minutes of flight time per battery. Without a camera installed, flight time extends to up to 29 minutes under the same conditions. With five batteries included in this bundle, teams can plan for multiple consecutive sorties before needing to recharge.
