TRAINER-LED COURSE - UGCS AREA SCAN AND TRUE TERRAIN FOLLOWING (TFF) MISSIONS

Training is recommended for users of UgCS software and Integrated Systems who already have basic knowledge of UgCS.

• Training can be provided at the SPH Engineering office or via video conference tools.
• Duration: up to 6 hours.
• The price is for a group of up to 4 students.

Training course consist of:

• online course a part that participants can complete at their own pace before zoom session

• a live video-call session (via Zoom) with a trainer.
  (The course can also be conducted at the SPH Engineering’s office).

Prerequisites:

Completed UgCS Basics training or the same knowledge and experience.

Before this training, the trainee has to perform automated test flight using UgCS - Area Scan or Photogrammetry routes. Remote review of the flight telemetry or photogrammetry results will be performed at the beginning of the session. If a trainee can't demonstrate results of completed missions, the trainer will cancel the training session, and it has to be rescheduled.

Training outline:

• Planning AreaScan missions using DSM (elevation data)
• Installing/configuring SkyHub and altimeter on the DJI drone
• Working with Custom Payload Monitor to control TTF/Grasshopper flight modes
• Connection to the DJI drone using UgCS for the DJI app
• Simulation of AreaScan mission using the M600Pro drone in flight simulation mode without an altimeter
• Simulation of AreaScan mission using the TTF mode (how to enable simulation, how to start TTF mode, interrupt the mode)
• Fail-safe actions in TTF mode
• Planning and simulation of AreaScan/TTF mission where AreaScan is far from the take-off position
• Simulation of a flight with a battery change
• Safety considerations in TTF mode – what ~1s delay of TTF algorithm means in terms of speed and altitude
• Practical exercises (if training is provided online - analyzing of customer's flights and remote support)
  • AreaScan mission flight without TTF
  • AreaScan mission using TTF
  • Changing batteries in the middle of the route and resuming the mission
  • Attempt to start TTF mode when the drone is above max altitude
  • Attempt to start TTF mode when the drone is below min altitude
  • Pausing/resuming TTF mode
  • Grasshopper missions
