Quarterly release - 2026-06-01

Information on software updates, hotfixes and documentation is available in Zendesk.

RigiCloud and Edge Node - v1.19.0:​

New features​

  • Multiversioning capability:

    • RigiCloud can now support multiple versions of its core services simultaneously, allowing operators more flexibility in the upgrade process. When a new software version is released, the past version remains active, allowing Head of Operations users to update their portal at a time of their choosing.

    • Once an upgrade is triggered, all drones will also need to be upgraded to the new version, and there is no possiblity to downgrade. The previous version remains supported for a limited time period. Critical hotfixes may still result in mandatory upgrades to the new version.

  • Live air traffic:

    • A new air traffic layer is available from data supplier SafeSky. The data will be available to all clients on a trial basis after release until commercial terms are defined.
    • The INVOLI air traffic layer has been deprecated.

  • Enhanced video server:

    • A new backend for video streaming increases stability and reliability. Support was added for additional external video stream sources within the Control Tower.

  • Improved telemetry display:

    • Invalid telemetry values now display as '–' instead of '0'.
    • Removed FS LTE link status in Edge Node RigiCloud.
      • Note: By design, this information could not be displayed in Edge Node RigiCloud.

Fixed/Improved​

  • Improved post-flight analysis tools with expanded error detection.
  • General bug fixes and reliability enhancements across systems.

Onboard software (OC) - v1.4.0:​

New features​

  • APN managament enhancement:

    • Connectivity settings such as the APN for the drone's LTE link or a local WiFi connection can now be set directly through the drone's WiFi hotspot. This removes the need of an active secondary link (FS LTE, Edge Node) to set initial connectivity.

  • Safety settings simplification:

    • Simplification of safety settings options, aligned with safety requirements. The following safety actions have been removed:
      • Pregeocage breach: Hold and Warning removed as available actions
      • Lower altitude deviation: 2-layer configuration (warning + action) is now mandatory, Warning is no longer accepted as an action, Action maximum limit reduced from 10,000 m to 100 m
      • Upper altitude deviation: 2-layer configuration (warning + action) is now mandatory, Warning is no longer accepted as an action, Action maximum limit reduced from 10,000 m to 100 m, Action minimum limit raised from 10 m to 20 m
      • DAA: Hold and SRP removed as available actions for High and Critical levels
      • C2: RTO removed as available action

Fixed/Improved​

  • Enhanced tracking of custom drone software versions with grounding enforcement for non-reviewed versions (per SAIL-III requirements).
  • Refactored networking backend for more reliable datalinks.
  • Improved CPU performance.
  • General bug fixes and reliability enhancements across systems.

Autopilot (AP) software - v2.12.0:​

New features​

  • Transition improvements:
    • Automatic retransition to fixed-wing: After triggering CO, RTO or SRP when the drone is in multicopter mode, the drone will return to fixed-wing mode after having flown to the branch-in point if it is situated on a fixed-wing segment of the original route.
      • Note: No automatic retransitions are attempted after a previous transition failure or quadchute trigger on the same flight.
    • Quadchute timing before pregeocage breach: if Hold is triggered manually while in fixed-wing mode but the resulting loiter loop is predicted to breach the pregeocage, the drone executes a quadchute into multicopter mode.
      • Note: Hold behaviours triggered automatically by a failsafe action do not have this check and will remain in a fixed-wing loiter until a pre-geocage breach triggers further actions.
  • Guidance, navigation, and control improvements:
    • Fixed-wing altitude acceptance that could lead to spiraling climbs is deactivated.
    • Better alignment for next-waypoint targeting during multicopter alignment phase while executing a MC U-Turn.
  • RTK improvements:
    • RTK can now be applied to specific GNSS devices (none, front, back, or both) to avoid bad RTK data affecting both GNSS devices.

Fixed/Improved​

  • Enhanced DAA algorithms to reliably detect multiple aircraft within range.
  • Improved RTK packet handling.
  • General bug fixes and reliability enhancements across systems.

Failsafe Computer (FS) firmware - v1.4.0:​

Fixed/Improved​

  • Fixed SD card remounting issue for logging.
  • General bug fixes and reliability enhancements across systems.
