The drone industry moves fast. New aircraft every few months, better cameras, longer flight times, smarter autonomous features. But the software side? It hasn’t kept up.
The Problem
Most drone software was built for a world where one pilot flies one drone. That was fine five years ago, but it doesn’t match how people actually fly today. Hobbyists collect multiple aircraft. Photographers need coordinated shots from different angles. Mappers want to run two drones at once to cut survey time in half. FPV pilots have a shelf full of quads.
And yet, the tools haven’t caught up. You’re using one app per drone brand. Your flight logs are scattered across three different platforms. Planning a multi-drone shoot means manually coordinating on a whiteboard or in your head. And if you want real-time fleet monitoring? That’s an enterprise feature behind a five-figure contract.
What We Believe
We believe every pilot who flies more than one drone deserves software that was actually built for that workflow. Not enterprise software dumbed down. Not consumer software stretched beyond its limits. Something designed from day one around the idea that you have a fleet — even if that fleet is just two drones.
We also believe airspace awareness shouldn’t be a separate app you check before driving to your flight spot. It should be built into the same screen where you’re planning your mission. And fleet management shouldn’t mean a spreadsheet — it should be a first-class feature.
What We’re Building
TacLink C2 is a desktop application for multi-drone command and control. Here’s what it does:
- Fleet management — add all your drones, track status, batteries, flight history, and maintenance from one screen
- Mission planning — plan multi-drone flights with waypoints, search zones, and coverage patterns
- Live monitoring — real-time telemetry for every drone in the air, from one unified view
- Airspace awareness — live airspace boundaries, TFRs, and nearby traffic right on your map
- AI detection — real-time object detection on your video feeds for people, vehicles, and custom targets
We’re starting with features that matter most to hobbyists and prosumers — the pilots who are flying today and need better tools right now. Over time, we’ll expand into more specialized workflows and professional use cases.
Early Access
TacLink C2 is currently in development. We’re building in the open and we want feedback from real pilots as early as possible. If you’re someone who flies multiple drones and wants better software, join the early access waitlist. We’ll reach out when it’s time to start testing.
This is just the beginning. We’ve got a lot more to share — follow along in the newsroom for guides, product updates, and field reports as we build this thing.
