ADFP ensures each delivery is safe, fast, and efficient while maintaining regulatory compliance and minimizing human intervention.
Designed to support multi-drone fleets across multiple command stations, ADFP makes drone deliveries scalable and commercially viable for industries such as healthcare, e-commerce, and emergency response. Let’s take a deeper look into its key modules and how they work together.
Core Functionalities of ADFP
End-to-End Mission Automation
- Generates delivery missions automatically based on package type, delivery location, weather conditions, and drone availability.
- Uses AI and ML algorithms to optimize delivery routes, avoiding obstacles and restricted airspaces.
- Manages mission approval workflows, ensuring compliance with aviation regulations.
Seamless Integration with Onboard Systems
- ADFP communicates directly with AeroCore™, our onboard computing module, enabling smooth command execution between the Flight Controller (FC) and the cloud-based control system.
- Allows real-time command transmission for navigation, package handling, and emergency responses.
Multi-Drone Fleet & Command Station Management
- Supports multiple drones operating simultaneously across different Command Stations.
- Smart fleet allocation assigns the best drone for each delivery based on factors like battery levels, payload capacity, Preflight Checks, Airworthiness and operational readiness.
Compliance & Risk Assessment
- Integrated with LAANC (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) for real-time FAA approvals.
- AI-driven Risk Assessment System evaluates weather risks, terrain obstacles, and drone calibration status before mission execution.
Key Submodules of ADFP
Each submodule plays a crucial role in ensuring safe, efficient, and scalable drone operations. Here’s how:
Drone View (Live Mission Monitoring & Control)
This real-time control center provides live visibility into ongoing drone missions. Operators can:
- Monitor active missions in real-time with an all active mission interface displaying multiple drone streams.
- Access detailed mission data including telemetry, battery health, and environmental conditions.
- Manually intervene if necessary, such as activating Return-to-Home (RTH) or taking over manual control in emergencies.
Roadmap (Route Optimization & Mission Planning)
The AI-powered mission planner automates waypoint generation and delivery path optimization while ensuring regulatory compliance.
- Weather & NFZ Check: Integrates meteorological (MET) data and obstacle detection to plan the safest route.
- Dynamic Rerouting: Adjusts flight paths in real-time if unexpected conditions arise.
- Multi-Drone Coordination: Selects the best available drone from a nearby command station.
PHM (Package Handling Module)
Ensures precise package pickup, transit, and delivery using advanced Aruco marker technology.
- Smart Loading System: Ensures each package is correctly scanned, verified, and attached before takeoff.
- Precision Delivery: Uses Aruco markers at delivery sites to ensure highly accurate drops.
- Winch-based Package Release: Allows smooth lowering of payloads in locations where landing is not possible.
Admin Settings (Fleet & Command Station Configuration)
Provides a centralized control hub for managing drone fleets, command stations, and operational settings.
- Drone Registration & Fleet Management: Allows operators to add new drones, update software/hardware, and assign drones to command stations.
- Winch & Payload Management: Configure payload handling systems, attachment methods, and release mechanisms.
- Emergency & Fail-Safe Settings: Configure automated responses for emergencies like loss of signal, battery failure, or navigation errors.
Predictive Platform (AI-Powered Insights & Maintenance Alerts)
Leverages data analytics to enhance fleet performance, predictive maintenance, and operational safety.
- Health Monitoring: Tracks drone health metrics such as battery cycles, motor efficiency, and calibration drift.
- AI-Driven Predictive Maintenance: Forecasts potential failures before they occur, reducing downtime.
- Compliance & Reporting: Generates regulatory reports for aviation authorities and operational insights for better decision-making.
