ABZ Glossary

A safety feature that activates to prevent damage or loss, such as a drone returning to home when communication is lost.

Software embedded in the hardware of a drone that controls its basic functions, such as flight control and sensor data processing.

Flight planning for drones involves preparing all necessary aspects specific to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) before flight. This includes selecting a safe and efficient flight path that avoids obstacles and restricted airspace, considering factors like altitude (AGL), battery life, weather conditions, and signal range. It also involves ensuring compliance with aviation regulations, especially when performing operations Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS). Effective drone flight planning enhances safety, operational efficiency, and adherence to legal requirements. Flight planning can also refer to the specific function in the ABZ Control app, about which you can read more here.

A safety mechanism in UAVs that allows for the controlled shutdown or termination of the drone's flight to prevent accidents or damage in emergency situations.

A chemical used to prevent or eliminate fungal infections in plants. Drones spray this on crops to protect against fungal diseases.
