SPH Engineering has introduced UgCS Open, a free version of its widely used UAV flight-planning software. This new offering retains the core features of the paid UgCS Expert version, including 3D flight planning, terrain-aware automation and mission control.
<p>The launch of UgCS Open is aimed at making advanced UAV flight planning more accessible while maintaining SPH Engineering’s focus on professional applications. This version is particularly beneficial for those starting with tasks such as lidar flights, UAV photogrammetry, automated inspections and terrain-aware mission planning.</p> <p>UgCS supports a wide range of popular UAV platforms, including DJI models such as the M350, M300, Mavic 3 Enterprise and Matrice 4 Series. Unlike cloud-based solutions, UgCS operates locally on PC or Mac systems, offering full offline capabilities and a fast, 3D flight-planning environment. This makes it suitable for complex missions such as lidar surveys, photogrammetry and corridor mapping.</p> <p>By introducing UgCS Open, SPH Engineering aims to lower the entry barrier for UAV operators while continuing to cater to the needs of experienced professionals requiring advanced mission planning tools.</p> <p><p>The post <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gpsworld.com/sph-engineering-unveils-uav-flight-planning-software/">SPH Engineering unveils UAV flight-planning software</a> first appeared on <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gpsworld.com">GPS World</a>.</p></p>
