UgCS

UgCS is designed for survey teams that need to see more than a waypoint list. A desktop plan can combine photogrammetry grids, corridors, LiDAR patterns, custom camera actions and elevation profiles, then split a large area around practical battery changes. Users may import their own DEM or DSM, cache maps for offline sites and preview a route in three dimensions before sending it to supported DJI, PX4, ArduPilot and other aircraft.

Licensing and aircraft support vary, and a terrain model represents a sampled surface rather than current obstacle clearance. Even high-resolution elevation can omit cables, cranes, vegetation changes or GNSS degradation. True low-altitude following may require separate onboard hardware and careful configuration, not just a software checkbox. Verify the exact drone, controller and sensor workflow, use recent site data, review climbs and turns, and stage a conservative test. The planner can expose design errors; it cannot guarantee survey accuracy or safe execution by itself.
