planning

I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction for flight planning software for the P4P V2.0 which we purchased recently. We are a surveying and mapaping company and have been using DroneDeploy, Pix4Dmapper, etc as well as DJI's GS Pro with other DJI UAVs (P3P, P4P, Mavic Pro) but...

I am new to drones but I am very knowledgeable in geospatial technology. I want to know if it is possible to plan flights using other shapes than areas (polygons). To be more specific, I want to know if it is possible to plan a flight using a polyline and if I can assign unique altitudes to each...

I thought I'd share my custom pre-flight paperwork with you all. I work for a county agency and we like to be very thorough and cover all of our bases. So in additional to just 'following the rules', we go above and beyond to pre-plan and document all of our flights. I created a UAS Operation...

Planning missions either on tablet or phone can be fun. Planning missions at home on desktop pc is good for most missions. But Google earth can't see everything for you, Power lines, new or trees that have grown taller. Mabey you need a tightly flown path. Planning in live time is perfect using...

Operating in remote areas can present challenges in communications. In areas with weak or non-existing communication networks, large changes in elevation or obstacles, one must look for other purposes of establishing communications. Where there are no towers, drones can be used to set up...

I find the Litchi app great but I'd prefer to use a DJI product...Just in case... I like using the Litchi Mission Hub on the web. Wish DJI would have similar capability. It's a simpler way to plan missions.

Google Earth Pro... with a little something extra!! As its free for a pro license now and its free to use I use the google earth program to pre-plan my shoots. To get a really good idea of what I want from the shoot and how it will look when Im up in the air. Before I have even taken off or...

Here is a nice way to plan your shoots for the best sunlight using Google Earth. I use it all the time and it saves a lot of guess work when planning your trips. Drone Pro Tips – Drone Pro List

Hi, I am considering building some new software for simpler and safer drone flight pre-planning and flight path logging/archiving. What features do you think are missing from the current applications? What applications are people currently using? Thanks!

We want to announce the release of UgCS 2.8.1 - an update to UgCS 2.8. In the new version we have improved DJI vehicle detection algorithm as well as improved the DJI Datalink connectivity and stability. Hold & Continue commands have now been added to all DJI vehicles. We have improved the...

Worried about losing possibility of flight planning for DJI on PC? At the beginning of this year DJI will discontinue their PC mission planning software Ground Station due to Google discontinuing their Google Earth API. Along with that, there has been a recall of DJI 900 MHz radio links. UgCS...

The UgCS team has accomplished what we believe is a first – integrating a Mode S/ADS-B out transponder with a small drone, enabling radar visibility throughout the drone’s flight. A BeagleBone Black computer with CAN bus shield was used to integrate a Sagetech XPS-TR, the world’s smallest...

We are glad to announce that DJI Phantom 3 and Inspire 1 are now supported in UgCS desktop mission planning software. This works through our Android app UgCS for DJI available now on Google Play. The app connects to DJI Phantom 3 or Inspire 1 remote the same way DJI native app does. What is...
