Abstract. This paper describes the architecture of a UAV-based flight mission-definition system. The primary objective aims at improving mission planning efficiency for conducting inspection activities using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), concerning state-of-the-art waypoint-based techniques. During testing, the autonomous execution of the trajectory reduced the time required in all cases by almost a half while achieving the same output as a user-controlled manual flight. The proposed solution extends the possibilities of users in creating complex flight trajectories and significantly contributes to the higher time efficiency of recurrent flights.
