The Next Generation of Autonomous Drone Software: Smart Flight™
Maximize your drone's potential with AI-driven real-time micro-weather insights, intelligent mission planning, and in-flight optimization
How It Works
Four modular capabilities—deployable independently or as a full suite
Mission
Planning
Generates optimized routes for fixed or dynamic missions
Readiness
Check
Verifies conditions meet aircraft & mission constraints
In Flight
Optimization
Optimizes trajectory in real time using live data
In Flight
Risk Response
Monitors energy and reroutes, returns, or lands as needed
MULTI-UAV COORDINATION
Enables multiple aircraft to plan, adapt, and operate collaboratively across all phases of flight
What Smart Flight™ Uses
MICRO WEATHER
High-resolution, localized weather forecasts that capture winds, thermals, turbulence, and changing conditions at the scale drones actually fly.
UAV PERFORMANCE
Physics-based aircraft performance models that reflect how each specific drone truly behaves in real operating conditions.
GROUND RISK
Population density and ground exposure data describing where people and infrastructure are located.
TERRAIN
High-fidelity 3D terrain geometry, including elevation, slopes, ridgelines, and line-of-sight characteristics.
AIRSPACE
Mission boundaries and keep-out zones defining where aircraft operations are permitted or restricted.
SENSOR DATA
Onboard and telemetry data representing real-time and recorded aircraft state and environmental observations.
CONTINUOUS ADAPTATION
Every flight makes Smart Flight™ smarter — continuously refining its understanding of weather and aircraft performance through real-world operations.
Supported GCS & Autopilot Platforms
Smart Flight™ is standards-based, interoperable with common flight controllers and ground stations, and easily extendible to fit any stack.
VCSi
Smart Flight's optimized mission planning is now seamlessly integrated into Lockheed Martin’s VCSi C2 Software delivering unmatched interoperability, scalability, and situational awareness.
