Descriptions & Duties
- Drone Swarm Flight Planner
A professional responsible for drone swarm flight route planning, flight plan/task development, and on-site flight operations management.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Design and programme drone operation procedures (e.g., drone show choreography), and develop flight plans/operational protocols based on mission requirements.
2. Conduct risk assessments and formulate contingency strategies, including alternative flight paths, emergency landing sites, and cybersecurity incident response plans.
3. Optimize task allocation for drone swarms and plan safe/efficient flight routes by evaluating mission parameters, environmental conditions, weather, and drone specifications (quantity, payload, communication network topology).
4. Operate ground control systems to manage drone swarms, issuing flight commands (arm, takeoff, hover, return-to-home, etc.).
5. Monitor real-time swarm status (position, altitude, speed, acceleration, orientation, battery level) via ground systems; detect, report, and resolve anomalies.
6. Collect, analyze, and document swarm flight data; compile flight reports.
