QGroundControl is a cross-platform ground control station for MAVLink-enabled drones and autonomous vehicles. It provides full setup, configuration, flight control, and mission planning for platforms including PX4 and ArduPilot. Mission tools can create waypoint, survey, and structure-scan routes. The live flight view combines maps, instruments, vehicle position, telemetry, and optional video streams. Guided setup tools cover sensors, radios, flight modes, power systems, and vehicle parameters. Multiple vehicles can be connected and monitored from the same application. Additional tools include log downloading, geotagging, MAVLink inspection, consoles, and joystick control across desktop and mobile systems.
