AgEagle Aerial Systems has introduced version 2.1.0 of its eBee VISION application software, designed to significantly enhance UAV capabilities. The update expands the system’s functionality, introducing circular and grid mapping features. These new mapping capabilities allow users to generate 2D or 3D maps using external post-processing software for more comprehensive geospatial data.

eBee VISION 2.1.0 can continue missions in GNSS-denied environments and allows manual deactivation of GNSS to prevent jamming or spoofing. It implements the STANAG 4609 standard, the official format for motion imagery exchange within the NATO nations. This involves embedding UAV position and camera information into the videos recorded by the UAV and those broadcasted by the Ground Control Station. Its inclusion in the system enhances interoperability with third-party applications, which is key for military-grade UAVs.

Another improvement in the software update is the enhanced control over the Silent Tactical Landing feature. Users can now manually adjust the landing position on the map, with the system providing range estimates to inform operators of the UAV’s reach. This functionality offers greater flexibility in mission planning and execution, particularly in tactical scenarios requiring precise landing control.
