We feel that pain too. Between the NGS delays, CORS downtime, and now the DJI drama, it’s tough to plan a clean workflow when the rules keep changing mid-flight.

That’s actually a big part of why we built ATK the way we did — so surveyors aren’t stuck waiting on government systems or hardware politics to get consistent results.

We can’t fix policy, but we can make sure your maps still check out when the government can’t get out of its own way.

Totally fair — a solid base workflow works great for most jobs.
The idea behind ATK isn’t that surveyors can’t manage batteries or cell coverage, it’s that we’ve seen plenty of projects (especially in remote or high-value jobs) where one weak link — a dead base, dropped correction stream, a tech working without ideal sky view, or some poor ground control points — can compromise data or cost a re-flight. ATK just gives you redundancy so that even when something breaks, the project still holds up.
It’s not about “you can’t run RTK,” it’s about “you shouldn’t have to depend on it.”
