Fleet Configuration

Adding Aircraft to Your Fleet

Each aircraft registered in UAVsynq is assigned a logical ID (e.g., UAV-01) that appears in mission assignments, Fleet Operations telemetry, and payload metadata. You can register via the web dashboard or the Operator Agent CLI.

Via Web Dashboard

1. Navigate to Fleet → Add Aircraft
2. Select your hardware model from the supported list
3. Enter the aircraft's serial number (found on the body label or in the aircraft's companion app)
4. Optionally assign a custom label (e.g., "DJI-M300-Thermal" for a thermal-sensor variant)
5. Click Register Aircraft — the aircraft appears in your fleet list within 30 seconds if the Operator Agent is connected

Aircraft Role Assignment

UAVsynq uses role labels to inform mission planning which aircraft carries which sensor payload. Role labels are free-form text — use whatever terminology fits your operations (e.g., "Lead Survey", "Thermal Scan", "RGB Backup").

Roles are set per-mission during the Mission Planning step. A single aircraft can carry different role labels across different missions. Role labels appear in the Fleet Operations telemetry dashboard alongside aircraft position and battery state.

Deconfliction Configuration

UAVsynq's deconfliction engine operates with the following configurable parameters. These are set at the fleet level and can be overridden per mission.

deconfliction:
  min_vertical_separation_m:  5      # Minimum altitude gap (default: 5m)
  min_horizontal_separation_m: 15    # Minimum lateral gap in hover (default: 15m)
  alert_threshold_m: 8               # Alert before hard limit hit (default: 8m)
  priority_aircraft_id: null         # Override: this aircraft claims airspace first
  cycle_interval_ms: 250             # Recalculation interval (do not set below 100ms)

Access Roles

UAVsynq has four built-in access roles for fleet management:

• Fleet Admin — Full platform access including aircraft registration, deconfliction configuration, and billing management.
• Mission Commander — Can create, modify, and launch missions. Can see full fleet telemetry. Cannot register aircraft or modify deconfliction config.
• Operator — Can view assigned missions and telemetry for aircraft in active missions. Cannot create or modify missions.
• Viewer — Read-only access to mission data and payload repository. For reporting and compliance review.
