Professional UAV Control Terminal Advanced Control Architecture

1. Long-Endurance Operation with Uninterrupted Power
The HS30 Professional UAV Control Terminal delivers up to 6 hours of continuous operation on a single charge, meeting the demanding requirements of long-duration outdoor missions such as large-scale agricultural surveys, extended infrastructure inspections, and persistent surveillance operations.

The integrated 36W PD fast charging system supports simultaneous charging and use, enabling operators to maintain continuous control authority by connecting to external power sources such as vehicle outlets or portable power stations during critical mission phases. This charge-while-operating capability eliminates the operational dead time associated with battery swaps, ensuring that mission tempo is never compromised by power management constraints.

2. 7-Inch 1000nits Sunlight-Readable Display
Equipped with a 7-inch high-definition touchscreen rated at 1,000 nits peak luminance, the HS30 display delivers approximately twice the brightness of conventional consumer tablets and smartphones. This high-brightness panel ensures that mission-critical information — including telemetry overlays, video feeds, map data, and system alerts — remains clearly visible even under direct midday sunlight.

The capacitive touchscreen interface supports gesture-based navigation and pinch-to-zoom map manipulation, enabling rapid situational assessment without the need for external displays or hand-shading techniques that compromise operational safety.

3. Assisted Flight for Hybrid Wing Operations
The HS30 Professional UAV Control Terminal features SoarApex’s self-developed hybrid wing auxiliary flight function, specifically engineered to simplify the control of fixed-wing VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Hybrid wing platforms combine the vertical lift capability of multi-rotor systems with the efficient cruise performance of fixed-wing aircraft, but traditionally require complex mode-switching and control transitions that challenge even experienced pilots.

The HS30’s assisted flight automation abstracts these complexities into intuitive control inputs, enabling novice operators to execute professional-grade flight profiles including transition maneuvers, loiter patterns, and precision landings with minimal training. This capability dramatically reduces the skill barrier for organizations deploying hybrid wing platforms for long-range inspection and mapping missions.

4. Automatic Equipment Discovery and Connection
The HS30 Professional UAV Control Terminal eliminates the time-consuming manual pairing procedures common in conventional ground station setups. Upon power-on, the system automatically searches for and identifies compatible UAV and avionics equipment within communication range, establishing secure data links without operator intervention.

This plug-and-play connectivity ensures that operators can transition from equipment deployment to mission execution within seconds — a critical advantage in emergency response scenarios where every moment counts. The clear status view presents connection quality, aircraft readiness, and subsystem health in an at-a-glance format that enables rapid go/no-go decision-making.

5. Comprehensive Pre-Flight Safety Systems
Aviation safety demands rigorous pre-flight verification, and the HS30 streamlines this process through automated inspection routines. The quick flight inspection function performs systematic checks of critical aircraft systems, while the one-click servo self-check verifies control surface integrity and response calibration.

These automated safety protocols reduce pre-flight preparation time while ensuring that no critical check is overlooked — delivering the confidence that each flight begins with full system verification. The intuitive display of drone status presents inspection results in a color-coded format that immediately highlights any anomalies requiring attention.

6. Dynamic Mission Management
The HS30 Professional UAV Control Terminal enables seamless switching between flight control and mission management modes with a single click, and supports real-time mission editing during active flight. Operators can modify waypoints, adjust altitude profiles, and update task parameters without interrupting the current flight plan — a capability essential for adaptive mission execution in dynamic environments.

Whether responding to newly identified inspection targets, adjusting spray patterns based on real-time crop assessment, or rerouting around unexpected obstacles, the HS30’s dynamic mission management ensures that operational plans evolve in sync with situational developments.

7. Advanced Payload and Targeting Control
The HS30 Professional UAV Control Terminal delivers sophisticated payload management capabilities that enhance mission effectiveness across diverse operational scenarios:

Quick Location Lock: While the UAV is in flight, operators can press and hold on the map display to automatically command the gimbal pod to point toward the selected geographic area — enabling rapid target acquisition without manual coordinate entry
Quick Camera Switching: Dedicated shortcut keys enable instantaneous switching between lens types (wide-angle, telephoto, thermal, multispectral) with corresponding on-screen prompts that confirm the active sensor
Specified Magnification Zoom: When using zoom lenses, operators can quickly achieve fixed magnification levels through programmable shortcuts, reducing the cognitive and physical control pressure associated with continuous zoom adjustment
Fly-to-Target: In full-screen video mode, a single click commands the aircraft to navigate to the center of the current video frame — enabling intuitive point-and-fly navigation based on visual target identification
Fast Target Search: In quick search mode, holding L1 enables the drone to automatically follow the pod’s line of sight direction, allowing operators to focus exclusively on gimbal control for systematic area search
One-Click Lock and Follow: After identifying a target, a quick touch locks the tracking system onto the object; subsequent long-press of L1 initiates autonomous tracking flight that maintains the target in the sensor field of view
