Key Highlights
Hardware-Agnostic Execution
Replaced heavy, installation-dependent mission planners with a lightweight React and Zustand frontend. The GCS runs purely in the browser on any field tablet or laptop, operating entirely offline over a private mesh network where the drone acts as the wireless access point.
Real-Time Telemetry & Kinematics
Bridged the web interface with low-level aerospace hardware by routing HTTP and WebSocket requests through a Flask backend to translate commands into MAVLink protocol. Includes custom multi-axis keyboard flight logic with acceleration curves for precise manual override without an RC transmitter.
Streamlined Field Deployments
Eliminated the setup delays associated with traditional desktop software. The system provides 10Hz telemetry polling, live MJPEG video feeds, and one-click autonomous mission generation directly from a field-ready browser interface.
Designed for measurable product growth
Every design decision focused on improving usability, increasing engagement.
