Advanced Features for UAV Operators
Intuitive Mission Planning
The GCS enables seamless mission planning through a user-friendly graphical interface. Operators can define flight paths, upload mission parameters, and make real-time adjustments as conditions change. Alternatively, the control system can automatically propose flight paths based on the mission volume, geofences and the UAV platform performance limits.
Comprehensive UAV Monitoring
Monitor every aspect of the UAV’s performance, including flight parameters, wind conditions, battery levels, and payload data, all in real time. Stay informed with customizable alerts and automated safety checks.
Payload Data Integration
Seamlessly integrate data from onboard payloads such as cameras, LIDAR, and other sensors, feeding mission-specific information back into the GCS to enable in-flight adjustments for optimal mission outcomes.
Dynamic Trajectory Updates
With real-time feedback from the UAV and its payload, the GCS can automatically adjust flight paths during missions to account for changes in the environment, geofences, traffic, or mission objectives.
Automatic Geo-fence Management
The GCS simplifies compliance with no-fly zones by allowing operators to set geofences before and during a mission. The system will automatically reroute the UAV to avoid restricted areas while adhering to load limits and performance constraints.
Emergency and Fail-safe Modes
In case of emergencies, the GCS allows for automatic and manual emergency procedures. It triggers automatic return-to-base functions or alternative safety paths while keeping operators informed with critical status updates.
