STEP 1 OF 5
What are you trying to accomplish?
Choose the closest mission type. ATLAS will set useful defaults that you can change.
LOCATION
Where will the operation happen?
Enter coordinates manually
MISSION INTENT
What result do you need?
ADD A MISSION NAME AND LOCATION
STEP 2 OF 5
Show ATLAS what must be covered.
Draw the required ground first. Add exclusions or a launch point only when they matter.

STEP 3 OF 5
ESTIMATE MODELChoose how ATLAS should select the aircraft.
Use the recommendation, search for a drone you own, or add an aircraft that is not in the catalog.
Coverage demand appears after analysis.
THREE ATLAS CHOICES
Choose cost, margin, or balanced value.
Recommendations remain fixed while you compare aircraft. Prices are dated package references—not purchase quotes—and mission feasibility still uses conservative performance estimates.

Search the ATLAS aircraft catalog
Selecting a catalog aircraft creates a conservative route model automatically. No battery or power worksheet is required.

Changing a value does not make it measured. Add the supporting test or log before changing its evidence state.
