Phoenix’s FlightPlanner is an easy to use browser based mission planning application. Explore the effects that different sensor and vehicle parameters have on your data before you acquire. Estimate expected data properties to ensure you collect what you need. Utilize derived flight characteristics to schedule field resources accordingly.

 FlightPlanner can plan wide area, corridor and custom path projects and export missions formatted directly for UAV controllers or piloted MissionGuidance.
