Intel Mission Control is a software solution to plan and export flight plans. It is designed to support flights for:

- Survey Usage, for example: buildings, city planning, constructions, mining
- Agricultural Usage, for example: plant counting, crop detection, disease detection
- Inspection Usage, for example: cell towers, bridges, power lines, pipelines, railways

The application leads you through the steps to plan your flight and to preview and export flight data. You can set up your project in advance, before going out to the field. Intel Mission Control Software is intended to support the following Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV): Intel Falcon 8+ UAS.

Improvements and Fixes:

- Calibration for Intel High Resolution Imaging Payload
- Improved calibration for the Intel High Resolution Imaging payload.
- Renamed field from “Altitude” to “Distance” in area flight plans to avoid confusion and preserve consistency with structure flight plans.
- Renamed field from “Fly straight lines” to “Ignore terrain surface”.
- Fixed a bug where a corridor flight plan was not correctly calculated if all vertex points of the corridor flight plan were on a straight line.
- Fixed a bug where sometimes the values for “Altitude” in the waypoint editing dialogue have been displayed in “Centimeter” instead of “Meter”.
- Fixed a bug where the automatically fixed speed has been incorrectly visualized after closing and reopening a flight plan

Known Issues:

- In rare cases airspaces are not loaded/displayed correctly. Please make sure that you have all necessary permissions to conduct a flight safely.
- In the rare case elevation is displayed with initial elevation points only, appearing in blocks. Import a known elevation model, please

About Drone Firmware:

Applying a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your unit can bring various enhancements, include workarounds for diverse problems encountered by the device, and improve or add newly developed features.

On the other hand, downgrading the firmware version can recover the device’s functionality in the event of a software update either turning up faulty or causing the unit’s overall performance to drop. However, bear in mind that applying an older firmware isn’t recommended and might not always be possible.

When it comes to the update steps, due to the large variety of devices and numerous ways for installing a new firmware, it is recommended that you carefully read and understand the upgrade steps, and consider applying a different firmware only when you have familiarized yourself with the update method.

As the installation process is most of the times quite risky, this step should be taken by users that have the ability to successfully complete the update; regular users may initiate it at their own risk.

Therefore, if you consider applying this release, hit the download button, take into account all the aforementioned aspects, and update the device’s firmware. Also make sure you constantly check with our website to ensure that you don’t miss a single new release.
