Missions

Missions in DroneSense Web allow you to combine multiple flights from multiple pilots from an operation into a single collection. This can be useful for a number of applications, such as a large scale event, an ongoing training exercise, or a controlled burn.

Missions can be created ahead of time or post-event.

Each mission contains personnel, hardware, flight, location, and incident information.

Creating Missions

Requirements

• You must have the mission create permission to create a mission. 
• Additionally, you must have the mission create permission on each team that requires access to a mission.
• Check with your organization or team administrator if you do not have the appropriate permissions.

Note

• Missions can be created in either Operations Hub or under Flights and Missions. If you are just starting an operation, it makes sense to create the mission under Operations Hub. If you are organizing flights that have already taken place it makes sense to create the mission under Flights & Missions.
