ideaForge BlueFire Touch Ground Control Software

BlueFire Touch is ideaForge's ground control software used to plan and fly both mapping and surveillance missions with its UAVs. It plans missions from waypoints and target locations, checks the usable take-off area against terrain, estimates coverage before deployment and imports custom maps in common formats. Safety features include geofencing, terrain hugging and terrain avoidance, plus a built-in pre-flight checklist. Flights are controlled without a joystick, points of interest can be annotated live, and missions can be replayed with flight path and video. The software is licensed under ideaForge's end user licence agreement.
