Plan.
Precise.
First flight.
The most complete solution for professional flight planning — LiDAR, photogrammetry, corridor mapping, vertical scan and much more. Precision data collection on the first flight, no repeats. Compatible with nearly any drone: from DJI to US-made platforms. Enterprise-level customisation and automation. More than 4,000 survey, inspection and mapping teams worldwide rely on UgCS every day.
Open, Pro or Enterprise:
choose the right license.

The terrain follows
your drone.
Anyone mapping complex terrain knows the challenge is not taking off — it's maintaining constant relative altitude over slopes, canyons, power lines, valleys and steep hillsides. UgCS features the industry's best terrain following algorithm: adjust the resolution and slope of the reference surface, fly near-vertical surfaces using Smart AGL, and ensure consistent data quality over any terrain type. The result: uniform LiDAR point clouds and photogrammetric datasets, with no low-density zones or irregular overlaps. Precision on the first flight — no repeats.

Six tools.
One platform.
UgCS combines traditional flight planning with advanced tools designed for complex professional use cases: high-density LiDAR, oblique photogrammetry, linear infrastructure inspection, vertical scanning of facades and towers. Every module is optimised to maximise data quality and reduce mission time.
Advanced LiDAR missions
Specialised planning for LiDAR sensors: automatic calculation of the optimal flight pattern for target point density, overlap configuration, speed and altitude based on the specific sensor. Compatible with Zenmuse L2/L3, Hesai, Livox and other professional LiDAR payloads.
Corridor mapping
Optimised routes for linear infrastructure: gas pipelines, power lines, roads, railways, waterways. Direct import from shapefile, KML or CSV. Automatic terrain following along the corridor axis to maintain constant AGL even on sections with significant elevation change.
Vertical scan
Inspection of vertical surfaces: building facades, dams, wind turbines, pylons, rock faces. The flight plan is generated perpendicular to the target surface with configurable overlap and GSD. A tool absent from DJI Pilot 2, exclusive to UgCS Pro.
Photogrammetric orbit
Planning of photogrammetric orbits around isolated subjects (historic buildings, towers, silos, antennas, monumental trees): multiple angles, configurable radius, altitude and overlap. Generates 360° 3D models with full coverage of all facades. Exclusive UgCS tool.
Three times more tools.
Zero compromises.
DJI Pilot 2 is great for standard flights. But for complex projects, professional LiDAR, long corridors, vertical scans and multi-segment routes, UgCS offers a level of control and customisation that DJI Pilot 2 simply cannot match. The recommended workflow for DJI drones: UgCS desktop planning + execution in DJI Pilot 2.

Built for those who
accept no compromises.
UgCS was built from the ground up as a multi-platform solution for professional flight planning. It is not a plugin or extension — it is full desktop software with planning engines, adaptive terrain following, automatic GSD calculation, GIS file import and DJI Pilot 2 integration for direct execution on DJI drones.
Smart AGL Terrain Following
Industry-leading terrain following algorithm. Adjust the resolution and slope of the reference surface, fly near-vertical surfaces with Smart AGL. Maintains constant AGL over any terrain type — slopes, canyons, valleys, cliffs.
LiDAR Mission Planning
Automatic flight plan calculation for LiDAR sensors: target point density, optimal pattern, speed and AGL based on the sensor. Compatible with Zenmuse L2, L3, Hesai, Livox. LAS/LAZ output ready for post-processing.
Import KML · CSV · Shapefile
Automatically generate routes from existing GIS files: polygon shapefiles, area-of-interest KML, CSV with coordinate lists. Zero manual drawing — import the geometry and UgCS calculates the optimal flight plan with the chosen parameters.
Multi-route preview
Compare multiple alternative routes side-by-side before takeoff: view flight time, distance, number of photos, estimated overlap and battery consumption for each option. Choose the optimal plan based on objective data, not guesswork.
DJI Pilot 2 Integration
Plan on UgCS desktop, execute in DJI Pilot 2. The recommended workflow for DJI drones: leverage UgCS planning power (12 tools, unlimited routes, advanced terrain following) and the reliable execution of DJI Pilot 2. The best of both ecosystems.
Multi-platform · Blue UAS
UgCS supports nearly all professional drones: DJI Matrice, FreeFly Alta X, Inspired Flight IF1200A and many others from the Blue UAS list. One software for the entire fleet — regardless of drone manufacturer.
From quarries to coastlines.
UgCS flies everywhere.
UgCS is adopted by topographic survey teams, infrastructure inspection, environmental monitoring, emergency response, archaeology and industrial digital twin operations. Eight sectors where flight plan quality determines data quality — and where getting it wrong means flying again.
