Overview:
Mission chaining allows pilots to combine multiple flight plans into a single, continuous mission without landing the drone. This feature enables users to maximize efficiency by autonomously capturing photo reports, videos, panoramas, and mapping data in one uninterrupted flight.
Availability: who has access?
Mission Chaining is available in DroneDeploy’s iOS and Android Flight apps.
Adding flight plans to your mission queue
You have the flexibility to plan a Mission consisting of multiple flight plans before takeoff. You may also add additional flight plans mid-flight. Adding a new plan mid-flight is ideal for takeoffs in tight spaces, allowing you to manually get the drone in the air and clear obstacles before beginning autonomous functions.
Open the project in the DroneDeploy Flight app.
Tap the Add button in the Mission Queue.
You will see a list of the flight plans for the active project.
Confirm Altitude Before Adding Additional Flights. You must verify the flight plan’s altitude clears any obstructions in the area before adding it to the Mission Queue.
Tap Add to queue any flight plans you want to include in the Mission.
Once queued, you can see how many flight plans make up the Mission next to "Mission".
You can also see which flight plan will fly next in real-time as you fly and remove plans from the queue.
