AeroGCS software overview

AeroGCS is a proprietary GCS developed by the AeroGCS company, based in India, for drone configuration, piloting, fleet management, and drone project management. This software is available in multiple versions and can exist on a laptop or your mobile phone. The great part about AeroGCS software is that it greatly helps pilots plan missions and works in a cloud-based environment, giving access to the data anytime and anywhere. By using this, you can store your mission data on the cloud and monitor different drones working together on different projects.

Like other GCS software, AeroGCS helps to plan missions, set parameters, and have complete command and control over a drone. AeroGCS software is based on the MAVLink protocol; hence, it is compatible with PX4, ArduPilot, or any MAVLink-based flight stack. However, the PX4 and ArduPilot flight stacks are most preferred due to their simplicity and rich user interfaces.
