Large Projects is built for surveys that are too big to treat as a single flight.

Plan the full area once. Split it into manageable flights. Keep the grid, tie lines, and terrain planning consistent across the entire job.

That is useful for large mineral exploration, UXO, and other magnetic survey campaigns where the final deliverable depends on many flights behaving like one survey.

When one survey is split into multiple flights, the boundaries between those flights matter.

Large Projects keeps the survey lines aligned across subareas and lets you plan overlap between neighbouring blocks.

That helps maintain continuous coverage across the full site instead of finding gaps after the fieldwork is done.

Last week, Commercial UAV News attended SPH Engineering’s Drone Camp event, held October 12 and 13 outside Budapest in Vasad, Hungary. The two-day event was, in the company’s words, &ldquo

Some magnetic survey teams still move between Google Earth, Oasis Montaj, and separate flight plans just to turn one survey into flyable blocks.

Large Projects removes a lot of that back-and-forth.

Import or draw the full survey area, define the grid, split it into subareas, add take-off locations, tie lines and terrain data, all in UgCS.

Less time assembling the project. Fewer disconnected files to manage.

A 30-flight magnetic survey should not be 30 unrelated mission files.

With Large Projects, the whole site stays in one project. Flight direction, line spacing, altitude, speed and tie-line settings are managed across the survey, then the site is split into blocks that crews can actually fly.

That makes multi-day surveys easier to plan, review and execute.

Large surveys have to be divided into smaller flights.

The problem is what happens when every block is planned separately: lines stop matching, overlaps become inconsistent, and gaps can appear between flights.

Large Projects lets you plan the full survey once, then split it into flyable subareas while keeping the grid aligned across the whole site.

Same survey. Smaller flights. No rebuilding the grid block by block.

A few moments from yesterday’s Global Drone Operations Awards 2026 ceremony at SPH Drone Camp in Budapest. Thank you to the winners, jury members, guests, and everyone who helped make the first edition of the Awards special.

6.2 is out.
If you plan large magnetic surveys, this update should make the job noticeably cleaner. The biggest change is in Large Projects.

Hold Shift when placing cut lines or moving subarea borders, and they now snap parallel or perpendicular to the survey grid.

Large Projects lets you plan the whole survey once, then split it into flyable subareas while keeping the grid, tie lines, and project settings consistent across the site.

Also new in 6.2:

• UgCS Cloud in the browser. Preview, download, delete and share synced projects and routes
• Primary Flight Display is back, virtual horizon plus live pitch and roll
• ArduPilot 4.7 support
• DJI routes with waypoint segments over 2 km now get an intermediate waypoint automatically
• Improved Large Project previews and clearer cut lines

If you’re running multi-flight magnetic surveys, this is a good release to try Large Projects on a real job.

Plan the full survey. Split it into practical flights. Keep it one project.
