True Terrain Following is the SkyHub software package that enables DJI drones to follow the terrain accurately in flight, based on data from a radar or laser altimeter. The drone flies at low and constant AGL altitudes, as low as 0.5 m, without importing a precise Digital Elevation Model (DEM) into UgCS. HobiTech supplies it in India as an Official Partner of SPH Engineering.

Documentation & data sets
What is True Terrain Following used for?
True Terrain Following enables DJI drones to follow the terrain accurately during flight, based on data received from a radar or laser altimeter. The drone can fly at low and constant AGL altitudes, as low as 0.5 m, without a need to import a precise Digital Elevation Model (DEM) height map into UgCS. SPH Engineering describes it as optimal for use with distance-critical payloads.
Features
- Seamless integration with UgCS mission planning software.
- Optimal for using with distance-critical payloads.
- Fail-safe functioning on altimeter failure and on going beyond safe altitude limits.
