Introducing UgCS Open: Free Professional Drone Flight Planning for Everyone

UgCS: Flight Planning & Control
March 25, 2025

Drone pilots know the struggle. Most free flight planning tools lack the power and flexibility needed for real missions. But full-featured software can be expensive, especially if you’re just getting started.

Introducing UgCS Open, a free version of UgCS that delivers professional-grade flight planning without trial restrictions or hidden costs. If you’re into mapping, surveying, or automated drone missions, this is your chance to access the same tools used by industry experts.

What is UgCS Open?

UgCS Open is built on UgCS Expert, the software trusted by professionals for over a decade. You get full 3D mission planning, terrain-aware flight automation, and powerful drone control—without the usual barriers to entry.

Here’s what’s included:

✔️ Automated, precision flight planning

✔️ 3D terrain-following missions

✔️ Full offline functionality (no cloud dependence)

✔️ An in-app tutorial to get you started

The only limits? Two routes per day, a max distance of 250m per route, and no DJI Cloud Connection. But that’s still plenty of room to experiment, learn, and run real missions.

Why Go Pro with UgCS Open?

If you’re new to drone mapping, inspections, or LiDAR surveying, this is the best way to start. You’re not stuck with a demo version that expires in a week. You can actually use UgCS Open for real projects, refining your skills without spending a cent.

For experienced pilots, UgCS Open is a perfect testing ground—whether you’re exploring UgCS for the first time or need a reliable, free tool for smaller jobs.

Getting Started is Easy

Not sure where to begin? No problem. UgCS Open includes an in-app onboarding tutorial, so you can start planning missions in minutes.

UgCS Open is available now. Completely free. No subscription. No trial period. Just professional-grade drone software at your fingertips.
