According to an article by UASweekly:
SPH Engineering, a UAV software and integration services provider, has launched UgCS Open, a free version of its flight-planning software. It provides the same 3D flight planning, terrain-aware automation, and mission control capabilities as the paid version, with just a few limitations. The new product is making advanced drone flight planning more accessible.
The UgCS software is a tool leveraged by drone professionals handling LiDAR surveying, mapping, photogrammetry, and many other tasks. With UgCS Open, more drone pilots can use all UgCS features without additional charges and time limits. “We’ve spent years pushing the boundaries of drone mapping and surveying,” says Kristaps Brass, UgCS Product Owner. “But we also recognize that getting started with a professional drone must be made easier and more accessible. UgCS Open removes the biggest barriers to professional drone planning and gives everyone access to precise and reliable tools without a time-limited trial or any upfront costs.”
Soaring to new heights, together.
