Recon
Integrated drone software for autonomous reconnaissance, mapping and inspection

GCS Recon enables structured aerial reconnaissance using drones, supporting survey, inspection and documentation tasks before, during and after clearance operations. The software combines mission planning, autonomous flight execution and high‑resolution data analysis in a single, controlled workflow.
Before clearance, engineering or recovery activities can begin, operators need a clear understanding of the area of interest. Ground‑based observation alone often provides limited overview, while manual drone operation can be time‑consuming, inconsistent and dependent on specialised operators. GCS Recon addresses this need by enabling autonomous reconnaissance missions that deliver consistent, georeferenced aerial data with minimal operator input.
Missions are planned in advance on a desktop application and executed autonomously by the drone in the field. The resulting imagery is processed locally into orthographic maps and high‑resolution inspection images that support analysis, documentation and decision‑making.
Recon is designed for permissive and semi‑permissive environments where time allows for structured survey and where reliable spatial data is required to support clearance planning, progress monitoring and quality assurance.

Built for operational deployment
01
Mission planning on satellite imagery
Inspection areas, flight altitude and camera settings are defined directly on satellite imagery, enabling precise and repeatable mission preparation.
02
Autonomous reconnaissance flights
Once started, missions are executed autonomously by the drone, including take‑off, waypoint navigation, image capture, obstacle avoidance and return‑to‑home.
03
Orthographic image generation
Captured images are automatically merged into a georeferenced orthophoto that provides a complete overview of the surveyed area.
04
High‑resolution inspection imagery
In addition to overview images, high‑resolution photographs enable detailed inspection of points of interest within the mission area.
05
Measurement & georeferencing tools
Objects and areas can be marked, measured and georeferenced, supporting distance and area assessments directly within the software.
06
Stand‑alone, local installation
GCS Recon runs as a local installation on the operator’s computer. No cloud connectivity is required for data processing or storage.
