MavDrone device is the first solution compatible with the MAVLink protocol for the Command and Control of drone fleets. MavDrone extends the capabilities of IAS by publishing the telemetry in a public API.
MavDrone is an extensión of the already existing solution called Ipsilum Aerial Solution. IAS is a platform developed by SRM Consulting for the Command and Control of Drone Fleets. MavDrone extends the capabilities of IAS by publishing the telemetry in a public API. The API can be consumed by thirdparties through FIWARE. This API allows also sending control messages such us takeoff, landing, flight mode, arm/disarm, and connect/disconnect.
Current Command and Control Drone Systems are monolithic and isolated solutions. The connectivity between the Ground Control System and the drone is made by a radio-link channel working in an analog channel with serious limitations in communications. The market demands a modularized solution with decentralized services/modules and digital and secure communication systems, in such a way that the Drone Command & Control can be misplaced.
IAS has been used for several projects in SRM Consulting for mapping and mission monitoring. Also has been used by the Spanish Army, Government of Galicia (Civil UAV Initiative).
