Here, you'll get a detailed overview of the primary capabilities that set our system apart. From advanced flight automation to robust communication options, these features have been meticulously designed and integrated to ensure seamless, efficient, and safe drone operations. Dive in to discover how FlightOps is revolutionizing the world of unmanned aerial systems. ###

Fully automated solution

FlightOps' drone automation is driven by 'operational intent' rather than detailed flight commands. Users simply articulate their objective, and the system develops a dynamic flight plan, autonomously adjusting flight paths, altitude, and speed to ensure safe and efficient task completion.

Integration to generative AI models

This exciting new capability ushers in a new era for users and systems to interact with advanced robotics. Combined with image and video analysis and understanding, this technology dramatically revolutionizes our knowledge of drone control systems and infrastructures.

4G LTE / 5G connectivity

By leveraging 4G and 5G networks, FlightOps shatters range restrictions, paving the way for truly limitless Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations. This cutting-edge approach allows drones to operate over unprecedented distances, enhancing their capabilities and potential applications.

Onboard Decision Making

The FlightOps drone operating system can be installed on nearly any commercial drone, equipping it with the power to make autonomous decisions. This significantly reduces the need for constant communication and human intervention, thus paving the way for truly autonomous drone operations.

Integrative infrastructure

FlightOps is designed and engineered to seamlessly blend into larger business processes. As the drone market expands, their operations are now integral components of broader business frameworks, like supply chains or first response systems. FlightOps simplifies this integration through mission-oriented APIs and SDKs, making the process effortless and straightforward.

Smart Energy Management

The FlightOps platform continually estimates energy usage and plots the return path. This means it ensures safe, accurate flights with no danger of energy depletion. It's like a fail-safe built right into every drone's flight plan, eliminating the risk of unexpected power shortage.

Communication loss handling

Our onboard solution minimizes the risk of communication loss. In such an event, it empowers the unmanned aerial system (UAS) to either continue its mission or navigate back home autonomously. It plans its routes while taking into account previously stored airspace and ground restrictions, ensuring safety and mission success even in case of total communication loss.

Strategic Airspace deconfliction

Our software platform manages the complex task of deconflicting multiple flight missions in shared airspace. It does this by generating real-time flight plans that steer clear of no-fly-zones, ground obstacles, and other air vehicles. This proactive planning ensures safe, efficient, and seamless operations for all drones under its guidance.

Dynamic risk assessment (Dynamic SORA)

FlightOps is transforming the way automated drone routes are planned by blending "hard" constraints like no-fly zones and ground altitude with "soft", dynamic elements such as population density, communication network coverage, and weather. The platform's advanced algorithm adjusts routes in real-time, always prioritizing safety within set limits. This holistic approach to flight planning enhances the overall efficiency and effectiveness of drone missions.

Automated takeoff & landing management

To facilitate large-scale operations, the FlightOps platform coordinates synchronized takeoffs and landings. This capability allows multiple air vehicles to smoothly depart from and arrive at the same Control Zone (CTR), whether they're using the same or different points. This efficient coordination is key to unlocking the true potential of massive drone deployment, facilitating fluid operations even in high-density scenarios.

Dynamic Routing

FlightOps employs intelligent algorithms to constantly create optimal flight plans throughout a drone's journey. These on-the-fly plans avoid air and ground obstacles, no-fly zones, and other flight restrictions, even during communication blackouts. By continually updating, FlightOps ensures drones can adapt to the dynamic nature of the airspace, reinforcing the reliability and safety of the operations.

Multiple UAS operation

The FlightOps platform enables the automated coordination of dozens of air vehicles carrying out multiple tasks, all within shared airspace. It intelligently assigns air vehicles to tasks based on their capabilities and availability, ensuring an efficient utilization of resources and seamless operation, regardless of the complexity or volume of tasks.

Precision landing

FlightOps has an exceptional feature that enables precision landing using IR-Lock or optical positioning. This advanced capability allows any unmanned aerial system (UAS) to land on tiny surfaces or automatically drop cargo with remarkable accuracy.

UAS Agnostic

The FlightOps platform is designed to operate with a variety of drone platforms, accommodating different types of autopilots including Pixhawk, DJI, UAV Navigation, and others. This compatibility broadens its usability, making it a versatile solution for a wide array of unmanned aerial operations.

GPS loss

As an added feature, the FlightOps onboard software is capable of managing flights even in extreme circumstances. For instance, it can effectively handle situations where there's a simultaneous loss of GPS and communication, ensuring the continued functionality and safety of the drone operations under the most challenging conditions.

Secondary SATCOM

While FlightOps relies on robust 4G/5G communication, it also offers a low-bandwidth secondary satellite communication option. This ensures uninterrupted control even if the primary communication channel is lost, providing an extra layer of reliability to the drone operations, especially in challenging environments or critical missions.
