Complete drone mission flow and communication protocol implemented

Version 1.2.0 delivers the complete flow of the drone delivery scenario from order through bidding, choosing, mission progress, and finally mission summary.

• Persist user settings between missions
• Create unique identifiers for each user
• Unit testing
• After reload, redirect user to the proper screen of the app depending on mission status

Fixed

• Centered location pins correctly on coordinates
• Location pins were shown when when leaving order form without ordering

Changed

• Converted all timestamps to milliseconds
• Changed all communications between Mission Control and Missions to comply with Drone Delivery Protocol
• Set default dropoff location dynamically
• When searching for vehicles focus map on area around pickup location
• Changed data shown in vehicle card

Order creation process

We just released v1.0.0 of Mission Control and Missions, and are showing it at the InterDrone trade show in Las Vegas.

The latest version of the app and server finally lets users order deliveries by drone. These orders are then made available to all the drones in the area, who can then answer with a bid for the delivery. These bids are then shown on the map for the user to choose from.

As always, this release wouldn't have been possible without our awesome developer community.
