Each transport case ships 36 drones in foam cradles with batteries pre-conditioned to 60% SoC. The fleet identifier is laser-etched on every case and propagates through to flight logs.
Power-up sequence
- Stage cases in groups of 12 around the launch grid.
- Connect the case-level batch boot harness — green LED indicates link.
- Power up the RTK base station and confirm fix <30 seconds.
- Run the pre-flight self-test — the Ground Station shows a per-drone heat-map.
Common gotchas
- Mixing cases from different firmware bands — always patch first, fly second.
- Wet cradles — wipe and air-dry before insertion.
