UgCS: Flight Planning & Control
January 16, 2018

Riga - January 16, 2018 - SPH Engineering announces the release of UgCS and its mobile companion’s UgCS for DJI update, adding support for YUNEEC H520 and MavLink2, perfecting mission editor tools and KML import. Along with the update, UgCS centralised drone management solution for command centres enables UgCS for DJI to stream video and telemetry to a remote UgCS instance via a secured connection.

To offer UgCS to a broader commercial market the support for YUNEEC H520 drone has been added. Support for MavLink2 is added to grant higher flexibility and security to MAVLink communication.

Added operations to mission editor provide more flexibility for drone mission planning, enabling to convert route from already calculated into editable waypoint route for single waypoint adjustment; to split route manually or by distance into separate routes or to merge several routes into one and to invert the route.

As demonstrated in UgCS CSV/KML data import tutorial, the upgrade of import functionality enables to import KML files not only as “Area Scan” or “Photogrammetry” but also as “Perimeter”.

UgCS centralised drone management solution enables command centre operators to track on the map real-time position of the drones used in-field and receive live video streams. Command centre operators can mark points of interest on the shared map to indicate locations for field drone operators for detailed inspection or even can take manual control over the drone and its camera.

UgCS for command centres enables effective UAV integration into emergency and security command centres. UgCS and drone usage during dangerous operations or at hard to reach areas provides a live preview of the situation not only to personnel in-field, but for officers at the command centre. This enables more precise situation assessment, decision making and effective management of first responder teams, providing more efficient resolution of disaster situation or even saving lives.”, said Janis Kuze, SPH Engineering sales director.

UgCS for DJI update improves the connection and video transmission to UgCS desktop, added manual focus option for DJI X5 camera and Airlink configuration settings.
