Connecting the drone

UgCS provides various options for establishing a drone connection. It can establish a connection through the mobile application and as a direct controller connection.

Some drones (e.g. Autel) cannot be connected to UgCS, but the route can be exported as a KML file and imported to the Autel Explorer application.

Most of the supported DJI drones can be connected with the mobile application UgCS for DJI and UgCS Companion, whereas some supported DJI drones models can be connected directly with the DJI Pilot 2 application.
