New platform allows users to control drone from browser
AI navigation systems manufacturer Advanced Navigation has released Cloud Ground Control, a platform enabling users to control any drone from a web browser, enhancing usability for companies using drones for emergency situations
Cloud Ground Control allows multi-user and multi-drone connections over 4G/5G using a credit card-sized modem or a smartphone app. To remotely support the execution of drone missions, the platform offers a wide range of features, including:
- Multi-user and multi-drone connection
- Real-time video feed and telemetry
- End to end encryption
- Built-in compliance
- Cloud storage
Developed for emergency situations
Cloud Ground Control was developed for companies using drone fleets for emergency situations, construction, asset inspections and mining. As a cloud-based command and control solution, it provides pilots and mission commanders with real-time situational awareness and mission control, enabling more informed decisions and efficient responses.
The platform is already used by Australian company Little Ripper to manage their drone fleet over 1,000km of coastline. Jason Young, CEO of Ripper Corporation, commented: “Cloud Ground Control has allowed us to gain better insights of what is happening on our beaches so our teams can make more informed decisions in emergencies.”
