ArcGIS Flight (US Gov Edition)

The US Government edition of ArcGIS Flight is a configuration of the ArcGIS Flight app that was designed to support the specific needs and constraints of US Government institutions using drones and mission planning software. More specifically, the US Government edition configuration of the Flight app has all the features of the ArcGIS Flight app but is compliant with the American Security Drone Act of 2023 for US Government Customers.



When configured in this way, the US Government edition of the ArcGIS Flight app can be used by all government agencies without worry of violating any government regulation relating to provisions in the 2023 American Security Drone Act (ASDA). Both configurations of the ArcGIS Flight app will stay in sync as we evolve the capabilities of flight planning in the ArcGIS Flight app which means whichever version of ArcGIS Flight you choose to use, you will always have access to the latest features.

This app makes it easy to collect images to create accurate, high-resolution maps and 3D models using drones.



Choose from a variety of flight modes tailored to the type of site being captured, and the app will automatically define the optimal flight path and allow you to preview it in 2D or 3D. Pilots can use Terrain Follow, which enhances imagery quality by adjusting the drone's height to follow the terrain.



After completing your organizations custom preflight checklist, the app automatically conducts aircraft checks and executes the flight. Long flights are automatically split, allowing you to change your drone’s battery and resume where you left off. After completing the flight, wirelessly transfer the images to your iPad and upload them along with your Fleet Management information to Site Scan Manager for processing on the cloud. It is also possible to transfer the images captured during a flight for processing using ArcGIS Drone2Map or ArcGIS Pro using the ArcGIS Reality for ArcGIS Pro extension.
