FlytBase Enterprise Drone Autonomy Software for Dock-Based Operations
FlytBase is an enterprise-grade software platform that fully automates docked drone operations without requiring a pilot on site for each sortie. Where DJI FlightHub 2 is DJI's native fleet management layer, FlytBase is a hardware-agnostic autonomy platform built for system integrators and enterprise operators who need deeper workflow automation, multi-dock AI-driven scheduling, third-party alarm and analytics integrations, and deployment options that accommodate data sovereignty requirements.
FlytBase is ISO 27001 certified, SOC 2 Type II compliant, and GDPR compliant. Regulatory bodies including the FAA, BCAA, JCAB, CAAM, ANAC, and GCAA have granted FlytBase customers BVLOS waivers and authorizations to conduct autonomous drone operations.
DSLRPros carries FlytBase Enterprise Base Packages for DJI Dock 2 and Dock 3 programs, FlytBase Enterprise AI-R for Dock 1 and Dock 2 programs, Flink integration add-ons for data processing, live streaming, and alarm connectivity, and cloud storage and video viewer minute add-ons. One-year and three-year license terms are available. Contact DSLRPros to confirm which FlytBase configuration fits your dock platform and operational requirements before purchasing.
FlytBase Platform Capabilities
Flight operations and mission management: pre-flight checklists, flight log recording, path missions, go-to-location, grid missions for mapping, waypoint-record missions, remote drone and gimbal control with joystick support, and guest share magic links for read-only stakeholder access to live feeds and mission data.
Workflow automation: FlytBase Flows is a no-code workflow automation engine that defines trigger-action sequences for autonomous operations without manual dispatch. A fire alarm signal triggers a sortie; a motion sensor alert initiates a perimeter patrol; a scheduled time launches a recurring inspection route. The automation engine can coordinate across multiple docks and drones simultaneously, assessing each system's condition before initiating a mission.
Flink integrations: Flinks are FlytBase's connector architecture for interfacing with external systems across six categories. Alarm Flinks connect to motion sensor platforms, fire detection systems, and emergency dispatch systems to trigger autonomous drone response. Data Processing Flinks push captured imagery directly to mapping and analytics platforms including Pix4D, DroneDeploy, SharperShape, Skyqraft, iGIS, Airdata, and others. Live Streaming Flinks connect drone and dock camera feeds to Video Management Systems (VMS) and RTSP-compatible video infrastructure. Mission and Logs Flinks export mission data to resource management platforms. Detect and Avoid Flinks integrate cooperative and non-cooperative aircraft detection systems. UTM Flinks connect to uncrewed traffic management systems for real-time airspace awareness.
BVLOS compliance and flight safety: configurable failsafe actions for low battery, RC link loss, LTE link loss, and weather changes; geofences to define and enforce operational boundaries; no-fly zone definition; ADS-B integration via Airsense and Casia G for commercial air traffic awareness; go-to-safe-altitude (GTSA) function to descend to a predefined safe altitude when airspace threats are detected; AVSS parachute integration for programs requiring parachute recovery systems for BVLOS compliance; operational notifications via email for fleet status without requiring constant dashboard monitoring.
Data security and deployment options: FlytBase Shield provides enterprise-grade data security across three deployment architectures. The cloud deployment is a firewalled solution compliant with SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR, hosted on AWS with ISO/IEC 27001 certification, supporting private cloud storage integration so FlytBase does not retain copies of drone imagery or video.
The on-premises deployment (On-Prem X1) runs FlytBase on a private server for programs with data sovereignty requirements; available in Lite, Enterprise, and Air-Gapped tiers where the Air-Gapped configuration operates with no internet access. The in-country cloud deployment hosts FlytBase within a specific country's cloud infrastructure for data residency compliance. All deployments support role-based access control (RBAC) for granular user permission management.
FlytBase AI-R (Aerial Intelligence for Robots): an AI layer for Dock 1 and Dock 2 programs that adds four capability areas. AI Navigation Engine generates automated flight schedules from historical mission data. AI Analysis provides smart anomaly detection for intruder and unfamiliar object identification, plus object, people, animal, and vehicle detection and tracking from live feeds.
AI Flight Safety optimizes flight paths using past mission logs to account for battery performance and environmental conditions. AI Swarm enables a single operator to manage multiple docks and drones simultaneously, with each dock and drone's condition assessed before mission initiation. AI Predictive Maintenance predicts when drones and docks will require servicing based on usage frequency and past maintenance logs. "Ask Your Site" allows operators to query past mission data and site conditions in plain language and receive a structured report in under a minute.
What FlytBase Does and How It Differs from DJI FlightHub 2
DJI FlightHub 2 is DJI's native operations management platform. It integrates tightly with DJI Dock 2 and Dock 3 hardware and handles mission planning, live video, autonomous sortie scheduling, and data upload natively within the DJI ecosystem. For programs running DJI Dock hardware and not requiring third-party integrations, workflow automation engines, or data sovereignty deployments outside DJI's cloud infrastructure, FlightHub 2 is the primary software layer.
FlytBase serves a different operational profile. It is designed for system integrators and enterprise programs that need capabilities beyond what any single manufacturer's native platform provides: multi-manufacturer dock support across DJI, Hextronics, Heisha, and IDIPLOYER hardware from a single dashboard; workflow automation engines that trigger drone sorties from external alarm systems, dispatch platforms, or scheduled event logic without human initiation; Flink connectors that pass mission data and imagery directly to downstream analytics platforms such as Pix4D, DroneDeploy, Airdata, and Skyqraft; and deployment options including on-premises private server hosting and air-gapped offline operation for programs where cloud connectivity is restricted or prohibited.
For DJI Dock 3 programs specifically, FlightHub 2 remains the primary operations layer. FlytBase's current Dock 3 Enterprise Base Package supports core autonomous operations, Flink integrations, and workflow automation on Dock 3 infrastructure. For Dock 1 and Dock 2 programs, FlytBase Enterprise AI-R adds AI-powered anomaly detection, object tracking, multi-dock scheduling, and predictive maintenance capabilities on top of the base platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between FlytBase and DJI FlightHub 2 for DJI Dock operations?
Both platforms support DJI Dock autonomous operations, but they serve different program architectures. FlightHub 2 is DJI's native platform with the tightest integration to DJI Dock 2 and Dock 3 hardware, managing live operations, mission planning, and data upload within the DJI ecosystem. FlytBase is a hardware-agnostic autonomy platform designed for programs that need multi-manufacturer dock support, third-party alarm and analytics integrations via Flinks, workflow automation engines that trigger sorties without human initiation, and data deployment options including on-premises and air-gapped configurations. Many enterprise programs that run DJI Dock infrastructure use FlightHub 2 as the primary operations layer and evaluate FlytBase for programs requiring deeper automation, multi-dock AI scheduling, or non-DJI cloud data sovereignty. Contact DSLRPros to discuss which platform or combination fits your program's requirements.
Which DJI Dock generations does FlytBase support?
DSLRPros carries FlytBase packages for DJI Dock 1, Dock 2, and Dock 3. The Enterprise Base Package is available in separate configurations for Dock 2 and Dock 3.
