Mission planning: In the office you can define the mission area, adding background maps, and
avoidance zones if required. The software estimates the number of flights needed to cover the
mission area, depending on the size of the mission area. Checks for flight permissions, weather,
and site suitability are completed and the flight is scheduled. Before heading to the site, all
equipment is checked for any damage from previous flights and all batteries are fully charged.
Flight planning: The flight is planned and the wind direction, takeoff and landing locations are
specified. The pre-flight checklist is completed to ensure that the system is ready for the flight.
Flight operation: After launching the UX5 aerial imaging rover, the flight is monitored using the
ground control station. After the UX5 aerial imaging rover lands, the post-flight checklist is
completed to transfer the flight data to the Tablet PC.
Analysis and export: The flight and captured images are analyzed to make sure they are
synchronized and the data is exported in the appropriate file format for image processing.
Image processing: The data collected during the flight is processed using image processing
software such as Trimble Business Center software.
