In AeroGCS ORANGE, "flight planning" encompasses the entirety of mission preparation, covering aspects like equipment, personnel, logistics, and protocols. At Measure, we distinguish between "Mission Planning," inclusive of all elements, and "Flight Planning," which provides explicit instructions for drone operation during data collection.

A drone flight plan in AeroGCS ORANGE is a meticulously planned set of instructions, encompassing coordinates, speed, altitude, direction, heading, gimbal movements, and camera actions. These instructions guide the drone through a flight, accomplishing specific objectives.

The flight path, consisting of longitudes, latitudes, and elevations (waypoints), enables automatic navigation. Pre-planned flight paths undergo thorough team review to address inefficiencies or safety concerns. Beyond achieving mission objectives, planning aids in avoiding restricted airspaces, adhering to flying height constraints, monitoring battery life, and optimizing data collection for analysis.

Speed and altitude values can be entered in decimal points in AeroGCS ORANGE, applicable across all flight plan types. While altitude values can be altered, this flexibility does not extend to speed, a feature consistent across all flight plans.

Customizable gimbal movements and camera actions cater to diverse applications such as mapping, inspecting, recording, or live streaming. Emergency provisions are integrated to minimize potential drone damage.

For surveying, mapping, volumes, or earthworks, meticulous planning of the flying area, flight paths, photos, and overlap is crucial. The Flight Plan in AeroGCS ORANGE is a time-ordered set of instructions for successful mission completion.

AeroGCS ORANGE supports six different mission plans, each selected based on the application's requirements. Further details on these plans are discussed in the following section.

In the image below, you can see the plan view of AeroGCS ORANGE. This interface provides a comprehensive visual representation of your mission plan, allowing you to review and adjust waypoints, parameters, and other critical details for precise and efficient drone operations.
