Dock Upload Reliability → 99.9% – New upload infrastructure makes Dock uploads far more reliable and easier to troubleshoot, and a new connection health panel helps provide insight into your dock, drone, and network connections during remote operations.
Upgraded Measurement System – Polygons now report perimeter length, measurements compute more precisely in your project’s CRS, and the UI is easier to read and copy.

DroneDeploy Aerial Pro

2x Faster Processing – Aerial Pro now processes large datasets up to 2x faster than standard mode, with a 1,500-image map ready in less than 3 hours.
Higher-Density 3D Outputs – Get up to 10x more 3D points than the standard pipeline on large sites, for richer 3D detail and more accurate volumetric measurements.
Compaction/Swell Factor – Adjust stockpile volumes for loose or compacted material directly on volume annotations, with adjusted values included in CSV exports.

DroneDeploy Ground

2x Faster Camera Connection – Your camera now connects automatically, just like pairing AirPods; power it on and tap to connect.
Field Notes with Voice Dictation – Add context in the moment with voice-to-text field notes while capturing a walk.
DXF Overlays on Mobile – View your design files right on top of your latest map, out in the field.
2-Way Field Note Sync (Procore/Autodesk) – Field notes sync bi-directionally with Procore and Autodesk, so updates made in either system flow back automatically.
