QGC is a Ground Control station for small areas unmanned system, it is fully autonomous. The Ground control system is a center for land or sea areas where they facilitate human control for Unmanned vehicles like- UAV or Drones. The Q Ground Control systems are used to operate micro air vehicles to visualize and control its operations. These systems consists of an MAV link which connects the system to the UAV or drones flying up in the air. This Q Ground Control system was developed for the particular PIXHAWK project which was an open-source application used for multiple universities to provide high-end autopilot hardware.

As the name suggests this a Ground Control system for air vehicles, and Drones are one of them, hence we use the QGC systems operate the Drones to make them work in an autopilot mode and is suitable to fly high in the air. QGC is very powerful and instinctive station for PX4 and AutoPilot Drones as this provides full flight control and mission planning for Drones. QGC provides configuration for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles by using the QGC systems for Drones it becomes easy to use for the users flying it for the first and for professional drone pilots as well.

The MAVlink in the link for Micro air vehicles that provides a connection between the Q Ground Control station to UAVs and Drones. This link works as a protocol of communication between small aerial vehicles and Drones. It passes a message to the air vehicles so that they can run properly and without any defect. QGC provides a proper way to fly the Drones and communicate with the pilot at Ground and passes on the information to the QGC station. By this link, the QGC generates an output which is always equivalent to the input given by Aerial vehicles.

The QGC is a Ground Control system or station that provides full access control of the aerial devices. This is generated through a Pixhawk project whose aim is to design a perfect hardware solution or a chip which will be integrated inside the UAVs and Drone kind of aerial vehicles. They totally wanted a module which contains wings, multi rotors and a machine which can capture each and every thing by just flying up in the air and assisted by the humans on the ground.

Canopus provides drone services with the module of controlling all these services from the ground as they can have a GCS connected to it which allows them to operate properly and give full proof results. We have involved in the Drone and Ground control related activities from years and hence can able to design a kind of Software which provides easy access to the pilot and ground control systems. We also prefer QGC services for Drones as they are very important for the proper implementation of Drones and their speed of working.
