Frequently asked
questions.
Direct answers about the platform, hardware support, compliance, and deployment.
What is FlightOps?
FlightOps is an enterprise autonomy management system — one operating system to plan, execute, and manage autonomous operations across every drone, dock, and site. It covers the full workflow: plan, execute, collect, process, analyze, integrate. Built for drones, and ready for every autonomous system, ground robots included.
Which drones and docks does FlightOps support?
FlightOps is vendor-independent: one operating model across aircraft, docks, payloads, and ground robots. DJI Dock 2 and DJI Dock 3 connect through the cloud API, the Heisha D50, D80, and D135 open dock family carries third-party aircraft, and DJI enterprise aircraft such as the Matrice and Mavic Enterprise series are supported. New hardware connects through an adaptor — the operation itself never changes.
What is drone-in-a-box software, and does FlightOps provide it?
Drone-in-a-box software operates docked drones remotely — launching, flying, and recharging them without a pilot on site. FlightOps operates docked drones as part of a broader autonomy management system: missions are generated from intent, and they start on schedule or on a signal from the systems that already run your operation.
Can one operator manage multiple drones at once?
Yes. Operators supervise missions, not vehicles. Automated mission planning and automated airspace deconfliction let aircraft separate themselves across drones, sites, and simultaneous missions — so fleet size stops being a hiring problem.
How does FlightOps handle airspace safety and compliance?
Every plan is computed, not drawn. Ground elevation, no-fly zones, altitudes, and separations shape every route, plans are re-validated and re-planned continuously rather than approved once at launch, and UTM, ADS-B, and radar feed every flight decision automatically.
What deployment models does FlightOps offer?
Four models run the same system: managed FlightOps cloud (the fastest path to live operations), a portable on-premises edge kit for a single team or site, an on-premises deployment on your own infrastructure for a campus or region, and a sovereign organization-wide deployment with air-gap support.
Which industries use FlightOps?
FlightOps serves Oil & Gas (repeatable inspection and security across distributed assets), Homeland Security (persistent awareness across sites and borders), Public Safety (faster aerial response with centralized oversight and evidence), Municipal & Critical Infrastructure (scheduled inspection and mapping), and drone service providers running operations for their customers.
Does FlightOps integrate with enterprise systems and AI?
Yes. The Mission API and MCP let your systems and AI agents post intent and consume results, platform integrations connect video management, GIS, and enterprise systems, and the AI hub routes collected imagery, video, and telemetry through AI processors so analysis keeps pace with collection.
How do missions get planned in FlightOps?
You describe the objective; the platform handles the flight. Intent goes in, validated missions come out — every plan computed rather than drawn, weighed against the safety factors a human planner can miss, and re-validated continuously while the mission runs.
How do I get started with FlightOps?
Book a demo, request developer access, or discuss your operation — four quick questions on the Get started page route you to the right person. DJI Dock 2 and Dock 3 owners can begin with a self-serve cloud API connection.
