Sikong 2 cloud platform
Air-ground collaboration has never been more efficient
On the job site, how to achieve efficient joint operation of multiple machines and synchronize drone data in real time in different roles of the team is a difficult problem that the operation team often encounters. DJI Sky 2, a one-stop drone mission management cloud platform released this time, works with the Matrice 30 series and Matrice 300 to solve this pain point.
Sikong 2 adopts the design idea of multi-terminal synchronization, and all devices that can open web pages can be accessed and used, such as mobile phones, computers, tablets, remote controls, etc. The Sikong 2 interface efficiently integrates multi-terminal information such as aircraft, remote controllers, and ground mobile terminals, and can share all information on the interface in real time and cooperate with each other from frontline personnel to the command center. The operator can label points, lines, and surfaces on the Sikong 2 interface, mark targets, plan routes, and distribute work areas.
Sikong 2 comes with a 2.5D base map, which provides practical and convenient geographic information for tasks and makes task planning more reasonable. Accurate elevation information makes the plane drawings three-dimensional. Sikong 2 can also obtain detailed information about operations through real-time synchronization of panoramas and fast cloud mapping (visible and infrared).
With Sikong 2, the command center can also manage mission and media data. When the multi-unit is operating, the multi-channel high-definition live broadcast screen can be adjusted to grasp the scene in real time.
