Field notes
The workflow is built around an Android phone, DJI Mini 4 Pro with RC-N3, and ATAK-CIV, which the page identifies as free. Users can send shapes from the app or ATAK; the listed task modes include perimeter and route flights as well as point photos and orbits. The project says maps are stitched on the phone without a signal and shared with connected ATAK users, while noting that the pilot must keep the drone in sight.
