We’ve spent the last month doubling down on speed, flexibility, and fidelity across both the Hub and the App. These updates are designed to give you more control over your data, smoother in-field workflows, and deeper insights from your inspections. Here’s what’s new!
Hammer Missions - Hub 🖥️
Improved AI Quantification: Quantify damage and deficiencies in your buildings faster and with greater precision. Our enhanced AI quantification engine now delivers more accurate metrics and adapts more robustly to varied asset types.
Report Generation: Word (Docx) Support: Generate inspection reports in Word format. This enables full customisation to match client templates, internal standards, or compliance requirements—edit, brand, and extend however you need.
Export report in MS .docx format Improved AI Model Training and Use: Train multiple AI models in parallel and apply them simultaneously on a single project. This means you can blend perspectives (e.g., damage detection + material degradation) without juggling separate runs.
Create an AI model to detect multiple defects Improved Thermal 3D Processing: Thermal isn’t just for flat maps anymore. We’ve introduced advanced thermal-aware 3D model generation—producing richer volumetric representations that integrate thermal signatures directly into 3D spatial contexts.
Reprocessing Projects: Data collection doesn’t always go according to plan, and now your processing workflow is resilient to changes. Add or delete images and reprocess entire projects without starting from scratch or losing prior context.
Add additional images to project Faster 3D Point Click: Drill into the right imagery faster. Clicking a point on the 3D model immediately surfaces the most relevant source images—streamlining verification and investigation of anomalies.
Facade Mode: Simplify facade inspections with the new Facade Mode. Lock the facade’s position in 3D, then pan up/down/left/right smoothly to inspect elevations—making detailed exterior assessments intuitive and repeatable.
Improved 3D Measurements: Now use 3D measurements to aid your building inspections, measure roofs, slopes, windows and more with higher levels of accuracy!
Hammer Missions - Android App 📱
On-Site Image Tagging: Tag images directly in the app in real time as the drone flies. Capture context and intent without waiting until after the flight—annotate, categorize, and flag critical views on the spot!
In-Flight POI image tagging Flexible Image Storage Options: Choose where your imagery lives: now store captures locally or directly to the SD card when flying with the Mini 4 Pro integration. This gives you redundancy and faster access in field conditions with unreliable connectivity.
Internal vs External media storage options Improved Facade Mapping Mission: Plan complex facade missions with greater control. The upcoming version lets you better define missions for irregular building shapes and automatically adjust the gimbal to capture multiple targeted shots in a single pass.
Capture multiple angles at same point Closed-Loop Facade Coverage: Close the loop on facade mapping. Enhanced mission logic ensures full coverage of the object or building of interest—eliminating gaps and improving the completeness of your condition capture.
Coming Soon 🔮
We’re working on something special: a new paradigm for capturing data that layers seamlessly into condition assessment workflows. This initiative is focused on expanding the value of drone-collected data—bringing richer context, new data modalities, and tighter integration into downstream decision-making. Expect phased releases and early previews over the next 3 months!
About Us
Hammer Missions is a software AI firm helping companies in the built environment leverage drones and AI for assessing existing conditions. Having seen 5000+ projects, we're pleased to be working with leading firms in AEC to streamline and scale the process of facade inspections.
