Quickstart Guide

Connect your first aircraft and run a mission in under 20 minutes.

Prerequisites

  • A UAVsynq account (Ops, Fleet, or Enterprise tier)
  • A supported aircraft (DJI Enterprise, Autel EVO II, Skydio X2E/X10, or senseFly eBee)
  • A ground station (Windows 10/11 or macOS 12+) with the UAVsynq Operator Agent installed
  • Network connectivity for the ground station during the mission

Step 1 — Install the Operator Agent

The UAVsynq Operator Agent handles the hardware communication layer between your aircraft's SDK and the UAVsynq platform.

Terminal 
# Download and install the Operator Agent
$ curl -fsSL https://uavsynq.com/install.sh | bash

UAVsynq Operator Agent v0.9.1
✓ Operator Agent installed at /usr/local/bin/uavsynq-agent
✓ Service registered: com.uavsynq.agent

Step 2 — Authenticate

Terminal 
$ uavsynq-agent auth login

Organization:  your-org-slug
API key:       [paste from Account → API Keys]
✓ Authenticated as yourorg — fleet: BETA-FLEET-01

Step 3 — Register your first aircraft

Connect the aircraft via USB or the hardware's companion Wi-Fi link, then register it with the fleet.

Terminal 
$ uavsynq-agent fleet add --model dji-m300 --serial SN-42A80BX2

Detected: DJI M300 RTK (SDK v3.8.1)
✓ Aircraft registered: UAV-01 [SN-42A80BX2]
✓ Telemetry stream active — 2 Hz polling
✓ Visible in Fleet Operations dashboard

Step 4 — Create your first mission

Open the UAVsynq web dashboard, navigate to Mission Planning, and click New Mission. Upload a KMZ boundary or draw a site polygon directly on the map.

  1. Set the mission name and target date/time
  2. Upload your KMZ/KML or draw the survey boundary
  3. Select aircraft assignments from your registered fleet
  4. Review generated flight paths — terrain-aware routing applies automatically
  5. Click Launch Mission to push waypoints to assigned aircraft

Step 5 — Monitor in Fleet Operations

Switch to the Fleet Operations view. All assigned aircraft should appear with live position, battery percentage, and mission progress.

First-mission tip: Start with a single aircraft in a small, open area to verify telemetry connectivity before running a multi-aircraft coordinated mission. The deconfliction engine requires telemetry from all aircraft to compute separation — partial connectivity will trigger a pre-flight warning.
