Choose the make and model. GoDrona arms it.
GoDrona speaks to drones built on all major flight controllers, including the PX4 and ArduPilot open-source autopilots, other MAVLink-based controllers and manufacturer SDKs. Pilots pick the make, the model and the exact aircraft, and GoDrona does the rest.
From make to armed
The same steps for every aircraft in a mixed fleet, so pilots learn one workflow.
- MakeChoose the manufacturer of the drone.
- ModelChoose the airframe; GoDrona knows its flight controller, payload limit and whether it can fly in a swarm.
- AircraftPick the exact aircraft by serial number and UIN, with its battery level.
- ChecksStatus, UIN, certification, battery, payload, pilot certificate, permission, station link and geofences.
- ArmGeofences and mission are uploaded to the flight controller, then the arm command is sent.
PX4 and ArduPilot
Mission, geofence and arming support for drones running the two leading open-source autopilots.
Other MAVLink controllers
Controllers that speak the MAVLink protocol connect through the same ground-station link.
Manufacturer SDKs
Aircraft with their own SDK are integrated with the manufacturer, who then appears as an OEM on GoDrona.
Pre-arm gate
GoDrona will not send an arm command until every blocking check passes, and it tells the pilot exactly which one failed.
Fences on board
Keep-inside and no-fly polygons are written to the flight controller, so they hold even if the link drops.
Confirmed commands
Every command shows queued, sent and confirmed by the station, with the reason if it failed.
For drone manufacturers
OEMs register their models on GoDrona with the flight controller firmware and board, maximum payload, endurance, weight class and type certificate. Operators can only register certified models, and the OEM sees fleet health for every aircraft built on its airframes.
Questions
Which flight controllers does GoDrona support?
Drones on all major flight controller families: the PX4 and ArduPilot open-source autopilots, other MAVLink-based controllers, and manufacturer SDKs integrated with the drone maker.
What happens if a pre-arm check fails?
GoDrona does not send the arm command. It shows which check failed, for example an expired pilot certificate or a route crossing a no-fly area, so the pilot can fix it.
