The SPH Engineering UgCS Basics (Trainer Lead) training is the recommended first course for all new UgCS users and Integrated Systems operators. Combining self-paced pre-recorded video lessons with a live trainer-led Zoom session, it covers UgCS installation, simple and photogrammetry mission planning, DJI drone connection, flight simulation, UgCS Mapper for orthophoto and DSM generation, data import/export, offline operations, and vehicle profile management — in up to 4 hours, for groups of up to 4 students. The prerequisite foundation for all advanced UgCS and payload training courses.

UgCS Foundations. Mission Planning to Photogrammetry.
The UgCS Basics (Trainer Lead) course covers the complete foundational UgCS skill set in up to 4 hours — from software installation and interface orientation through simple mission planning, DJI drone connection via the UgCS for DJI Android app, flight simulation for pre-flight validation, photogrammetry mission planning, and UgCS Mapper for orthophoto and DSM generation. Students also learn KML and telemetry import/export, offline operations, vehicle profile configuration, and route management. The in-person practical exercise includes executing a live photogrammetry mission and importing the resulting map and elevation data back into UgCS. This course is the prerequisite for all advanced UgCS and Integrated Systems training.

Photogrammetry & UgCS Mapper. Map and Elevation Data from Day One. Students learn to plan photogrammetry missions and use UgCS Mapper to generate orthophoto maps and Digital Surface Models (DSM) — then import the resulting map and elevation data back into UgCS for terrain-aware mission planning. The practical exercise reinforces these skills with a live mission in Balozi airspace (in-person sessions).

Pre-Recorded + Live Trainer. Flexible, Effective Learning. The blended format combines self-paced pre-recorded video lessons with a live trainer-led Zoom session — allowing students to build foundational knowledge at their own pace before the interactive session, maximizing the value of live trainer time for questions, simulation exercises, and practical guidance.

The Required Foundation. For Every Advanced Course. UgCS Basics is the prerequisite for all SPH Engineering advanced training courses — including UgCS AreaScan and True Terrain Following Missions, Methane Leak Detection Using Drone, and all payload-specific training. Completing this course ensures operators have the UgCS foundation required to get full value from every subsequent training investment.

The SPH Engineering UgCS Basics (Trainer Lead) training is the recommended starting point for all new UgCS users and Integrated Systems operators. Combining pre-recorded video lessons with a live trainer-led session, it covers the essential UgCS skills required for mission planning, DJI drone connection, photogrammetry, and data management — providing the foundational knowledge required before advancing to specialized payload and survey training courses.

Training is delivered via a combination of self-paced pre-recorded video lessons and a live Zoom session with a trainer, or in-person at the SPH Engineering office. Duration: up to 4 hours. Price is per group of up to 4 students.

Prerequisites

  • Trainees must have practical experience manually flying a drone, including manual takeoff and landing
  • The drone type used for training must match the drone intended for use with the Integrated Systems solution
  • At the start of the session, the trainer will ask participants to describe their flight experience

Training Outline

  • Installation & Components — Installing UgCS and understanding the software components and interface
  • Simple Mission Planning — Creating and configuring basic drone missions in UgCS
  • DJI Drone Connection — Connecting to a DJI drone using an Android device and the UgCS for DJI application
  • Flight Simulation — Simulating a mission using a DJI drone in flight simulation mode for safe pre-flight validation
  • Telemetry Review — Viewing and interpreting saved flight telemetry data
  • Photogrammetry Mission Planning — Planning photogrammetry missions for aerial mapping and survey
  • UgCS Mapper — Using UgCS Mapper to generate orthophoto maps and Digital Surface Models (DSM), and importing map and DSM data back into UgCS
  • Import/Export — Importing and exporting KML files, maps, missions, routes, and telemetry data
  • Offline Operations — Working with UgCS without an internet connection
  • Vehicle Profiles — Configuring and managing vehicle profiles in UgCS
  • Route Operations — Working with routes: duplicating, converting routes to waypoints, and other route management operations
  • Practical Exercise (in-person) — Execute a photogrammetry mission and produce an orthophoto map and elevation data for a training area in Balozi airspace, then import the map and elevation data back into UgCS
