  • Large Projects splits a survey polygon into aligned sub-areas while preserving common mission settings.
  • The release adds Smart AGL 2.0 terrain following that considers terrain beside the route as well as below and ahead.
  • The update targets magnetic surveys, UXO clearance, geological mapping and other campaigns too large for one flight.

SPH Engineering develops UgCS mission-planning and control software for professional drone operations. The platform supports terrain-aware routes, multi-vehicle missions, sensor integration and repeatable survey workflows across industrial, environmental and public-safety use cases.
