Control & Fleet Management Software

Auterion Mission Control

Drone Mission Planning & Drone Flight Path Software

Auterion Mission Control allows you to plan and execute missions and analyze real-time imagery and data for multiple UAVs using one app that runs on any laptop, tablet, or ground controller. Providing full control of any drone powered by Auterion, the powerful, intuitive mission planning software is constantly synchronized with Auterion Enterprise PX4 on the drone and Auterion Suite in the cloud.

Auterion Mission Control gives you everything you need to plan and operate UAV flights, including waypoints, surveying areas, scanning corridors, and Airmap services integration for airspace and UTM information. Onboard 4G LTE connectivity provides a live video stream overlaid with flight instruments, allowing you to operate drone cameras for inspections or surveys from anywhere.

Other key features of Auterion Mission Control include:

• Planning for autonomous missions – rally points for automatic emergency landing, regions of interest for inspection flights, dynamic VTOL trajectories for accurate flight path prediction
• Enhanced flight planning and safety – moveable takeoff and go-to locations, return-to-launch capability, alternate safe landing locations
• Efficient flight preparations – pilot login for compliance, prepared mission loading, vehicle pairing for connection of one or multiple drones, pre-flight checklists.

Auterion Suite

Drone Fleet Management Software

Auterion Suite is a cloud-based web application that allows you to easily manage and monitor your entire fleet from anywhere, giving you a complete real-time data picture of your drones, flights and pilots.

Maintaining constant synchronisation with Auterion Enterprise PX4 on your UAVs and Auterion Mission Control on the ground, Auterion Suite provides intuitive dashboard widgets and insightful visualizations, as well as easy integration with your existing workflows via our powerful APIs.

Drones upload flight logs and sensor data automatically to Auterion Suite, allowing you near real-time data access and analytics for individual vehicles or the entire fleet, and providing the ability to monitor fleet performance, pilot compliance and efficiency. Automatic drone fleet management software updates are also managed remotely, ensuring every UAV is always fully up to date.
