Incidents

Points, areas and cloud-saved missions belong to an incident - a named set, e.g. “Kobylin forest fire”. This way one incident can be worked in the morning and another in the afternoon, while the elements of the previous one do not clutter the map and come back on demand.

Rules

  • Every organisation has a “General” incident and always exactly one active incident. The operations map, the controllers and the KOL coordinator see the elements of the active incident.
  • A new point or area - drawn in the application or on a controller - goes into the active incident. So does a mission saved to the cloud.
  • Switching the incident changes the view for everyone in the organisation and for every controller, so it requires confirmation. Others see a “Incident changed to …” banner on the map, and the points are replaced immediately.
  • Switching deletes nothing: the elements of the previous incident come back after switching back.
  • Drones, route trails, ADS-B warnings and areas from the KOL do not belong to incidents - they are “here and now”.

Working with incidents

The INCIDENT field sits above the Drones | Points tabs on the operations map (on a phone, in the sheet header) and above the mission planner tabs. The operator and Superpilot have a drop-down there with ”+ New incident…” and “Manage…” (rename, delete, element counters). A pilot only sees the name of the active incident.

An element or a mission can be moved to another incident with the “Move…” button on a point or area card and next to a cloud mission. The element then disappears from the map and from the controllers until that incident is switched on.

The number of incidents an organisation can keep comes from the licence (10 by default).

Missions in an incident

The planner button reads “Save to cloud → incident name”, so it is clear where the missions will land. The “Cloud missions” panel and the route library in DJI Pilot 2 show only the missions of the active incident. A mission already downloaded to a controller stays there after switching - its name contains the operation name, so it is easy to recognise.
