FlightHub 2 Integration Workflow with CAD System
A customer-safe workflow deck for connecting incident triggers, dispatch decisions, coordinates, mission status, and telemetry backflow between FlightHub 2 and a neutral CAD System / PSIM / Command Center.
Integration Positioning
CAD initiates the incident workflow. FlightHub 2 controls the drone workflow.
The integration should preserve operational responsibility: CAD/PSIM owns incident intake and dispatch context; FlightHub 2 owns drone task preparation, operator confirmation, remote monitoring, and aircraft mission control.
Incident source
Emergency call, alarm system, sensor event, or PSIM rule creates a location-based response requirement.
Drone task layer
FlightHub 2 selects the appropriate dock, prepares the workflow, and keeps operators in the approval loop.
Dispatch visibility
CAD receives mission status, location, video link context, and operational updates for shared awareness.
Source basis: DJI Enterprise Dock as First Responder page and the supplied DFR whitepaper.
System Topology
CAD / PSIM -> FlightHub 2 -> Dock / Drone -> CAD / GIS / Command Center
CAD System
Creates incident ID, coordinates, priority, and response context from dispatch or alarm workflow.
Integration Layer
Validates payload, maps fields, and passes a clean request to FlightHub 2.
FlightHub 2
Prepares dispatch workflow, recommends dock resources, and waits for operator confirmation.
Dock / Drone
Launches, navigates to coordinates, captures aerial context, and streams mission status.
CAD / GIS
Receives location, status, video reference, and mission outcome for incident-level awareness.
Auto Dispatch Workflow
Automation prepares the response; the operator confirms the response.
For customer-facing discussion, position automated dispatch as a controlled workflow. The system can recommend or prepare the drone response based on coordinates and rules, but final dispatch approval, manual takeover, and operational decisions stay with authorized users.
Auto-recommend
FlightHub 2 can suggest the nearest suitable dock or route based on the incident location.
Manual assignment
An operator can select the dock, confirm the task, or adjust the route according to policy.
Predefined actions
Arrival actions can include camera orientation, photo capture, panorama, video, or observation tasks.
Manual control
Authorized operators can intervene when the incident condition changes or safety requires it.
End-to-End Flow
One incident becomes a traceable drone response.
Incident created
CAD receives call, alarm, or PSIM event with location and priority.
Fields mapped
Integration layer checks coordinates, incident type, and dispatch rules.
Task staged
FlightHub 2 prepares a dock-based response and highlights operator action.
Human approval
Operator confirms the drone task and monitors the flight path.
Live scene view
Video, photos, and status provide early situational awareness.
Records linked
Mission outputs and status updates are attached back to the incident workflow.
Coordinate & Status Backflow
CAD needs mission context, not just a launch event.
The value of CAD integration is the closed loop: incident coordinates trigger the drone task, and the drone mission returns position, state, and evidence context back into dispatch or GIS views.
Aircraft position
Current drone location can be visualized in CAD/GIS or a command map.
Mission state
Dispatchers can see task accepted, en route, arrived, observing, returning, or completed.
Video reference
CAD can carry a neutral reference to the live stream or command-center viewing surface.
Telemetry Architecture
Use MQTT or middleware translation depending on the customer's platform maturity.
Some CAD, GIS, and PSIM environments can subscribe to telemetry directly. Others need a middleware bridge to translate drone telemetry into WebSocket, database, message queue, or platform-native formats.
FlightHub 2
Publishes drone position, task state, device state, and event context.
Middleware Bridge
Maps topics, filters fields, transforms formats, and controls what downstream systems receive.
CAD / GIS / PSIM
Displays operational state on incident views, maps, or command dashboards.
Risk Controls
CAD-triggered drone dispatch needs validation gates.
The deck should reassure IT and operations teams that integration is not blind automation. Each event should pass validation, dispatch rules, operator confirmation, and audit logging.
Event authenticity
Validate that the trigger comes from an authorized CAD, PSIM, or alarm source.
Coordinate quality
Reject or hold events with missing, stale, or obviously incorrect coordinates.
Dispatch limit
Prevent excessive duplicate tasks caused by repeated alarms or unstable integrations.
Human control
Keep operator approval and manual takeover clearly defined.
Audit trail
Record who confirmed the task, when it launched, and what mission outputs were generated.
Deployment Path
Start with an AIO validation path, then move to On-Premises for production scale.
AIO pilot
Validate CAD trigger, operator confirmation, live view, and status backflow in a controlled environment.
On-Premises production
Place FlightHub 2, integration bridge, and customer systems under the required network and security boundary.
Neutral naming
Use CAD System, PSIM, VMS Platform, and Command Center in external material.
No sensitive details
Do not publish endpoint paths, authorization headers, keys, internal ports, or customer network values.
Workshop Checklist
What to confirm before a CAD integration workshop.
Incident fields
Incident ID, type, priority, latitude/longitude, address, caller context, and update frequency.
Dispatch rules
Which incidents can trigger drone preparation, which require manual review, and which are blocked.
Operator roles
Who approves dispatch, who monitors the flight, and who can manually control or terminate the mission.
Backflow fields
Drone location, mission state, dock status, video reference, media record, and completion result.
Middleware owner
Confirm whether the customer, system integrator, or AERONEX ecosystem partner provides the bridge.
IT package
Prepare architecture diagram, data flow, integration description, access model, and security responsibilities.
