Geo-Caging is an essential service for drone operators, providing the ability to create and manage 3D virtual boundaries around designated flight paths. These boundaries, known as flight geography and contingency volumes, ensure that drones operate within safe and predefined volumes. In the event a drone exits one of the virtual cage, a corrective action or flight termination can be initiated automatically or by the remote pilot in command.
Geo-Caging offers drone operators a comprehensive solution for defining and managing 3D virtual boundaries around flight paths. Here's how it works:
3D Path and Volume Generation: Operators can define the 3D drone path and generate the flight geography and contingency volumes with specific settings.
Integration with Autopilot Software: The vectorial data generated can be seamlessly integrated into the drone’s autopilot software, ensuring that the drone consistently follows the planned route and stays within the virtual cages.
Simulation Mode: Before actual deployment, operators can use the generated data in simulation mode to test and validate the flight paths. This pre-deployment testing ensures that all operational parameters are within safe limits, reducing the risks during live operations.
