Why DigitalDrone?

Drones are no longer niche gadgets. They power delivery, infrastructure inspection, emergency response, and precision agriculture—and they also appear in unauthorized flights, privacy violations, smuggling, and security incidents.

Every flight leaves a digital footprint: **flight logs, photos and video, GPS tracks, and telemetry** on SD cards, handsets, remotes, and disk images. When those artifacts are collected and analyzed correctly, investigators can answer critical questions: *Where did it fly? What did it record? Who was operating it—and when?*

**DigitalDrone** is a purpose-built **Windows workstation** for low-altitude digital forensics. It ingests multi-vendor drone data, preserves integrity, correlates flight and media, and produces reports suitable for case files and expert testimony—without treating raw engineering logs as the final deliverable.

## Five Reasons Teams Choose DigitalDrone

| | Value | What it means for you |
|---:|---|---|
| 🔒 | **Evidence-ready workflow** | SHA-256 hashing, audit logging, and traceable export steps aligned with electronic evidence handling practice (e.g. ISO/IEC 27037 principles). |
| 🛸 | **Multi-vendor coverage** | Deep support for **DJI**, **Parrot**, and **Autel**, with pathways for additional brands and log types. |
| 🧩 | **One desk, many formats** | Flight logs (CSV, DAT, TXT, SRT, and more), media (JPG, MP4, DNG, RAW), and forensic disk images (**E01 / DD**, FAT32, ext4 via integrated parsers). |
| 🔗 | **Correlation, not silos** | Automatic **flight ↔ media** linking by time and GPS; geofence checks; anomaly detection; unified timelines. |
| 🌐 | **Bilingual interface** | Native **English and Chinese** UI—switch languages in-app for international teams and cross-border cases. |

## Eight Integrated Modules

DigitalDrone organizes the entire workflow in a single, navigable workspace.

### 1. Case Management

- Create, open, and save cases with investigator metadata, device type, and drone model details.
- Pack case state in a portable **`.drone`** case file.
- Recent-case list for rapid return to active investigations.

### 2. Data Acquisition

- **Import folder** — scan typical DJI / Parrot / Autel directory layouts automatically.
- **Import flight logs** — batch parsing with progress and acquisition log.
- **Import media** — photos and video with EXIF and hash capture.
- **Disk images** — read-only handling of **EnCase E01** (via libewf) and raw images; browse and extract files from FAT32 and ext4 volumes.

### 3. Evidence Browser

- Tree + table + viewer layout for sources, images, and extracted files.
- Preview, hex view, and property panels for triage.
- Integrity verification and audit log export to document chain of custody actions.

### 4. Flight Data

- Tabular flight records with search and filtering.
- **Altitude, speed, and battery** time-series charts.
- Detail panes for per-flight statistics and export to **CSV** and **KML** (Google Earth, GIS tools).

### 5. Media Files

- Tree or grid browsing with type, size, and timestamps.
- EXIF and metadata tables; image preview and in-app video playback.
- Export **media manifest CSV** including hash values.

### 6. GPS Tracks

- Trajectory visualization with flight selection and map-side information panel.
- Export **KML**, **GeoJSON** (QGIS, Leaflet, Mapbox), and CSV for external mapping workflows.

### 7. Data Analysis

- **Anomaly detection** — signal loss, control anomalies, GPS drift, attitude events, and related patterns.
- **Geofence analysis** — compare tracks against restricted or sensitive areas.
- **Timeline** — align flights, media, and anomalies on one axis for narrative reconstruction.
- **Flight–media correlation** — time-only, GPS-only, and dual-match scoring.

### 8. Forensic Report

- Generate structured **HTML forensic reports** from case data (tracks, hashes, summaries).
- Export reports and tutorial content for archival or court submission packages.
- Built-in **drone forensics operation tutorial** with illustrations for standard procedures.

## Evidence Integrity by Design

```
Raw artifacts ──[hash on ingest]──► Case vault ──[audit log]──► Exports & report
↑ │
└──────── Every step logged and reproducible ──┘
```

- **SHA-256 / MD5** verification for files and sidecar hashes where present.
- **Audit logger** records user operations for review and disclosure.
- **Read-oriented disk imaging** — parse E01 and file systems without destructive writes to original media.

## Supported Ecosystem (Overview)

| Vendor | Typical artifacts | DigitalDrone capability |
|---|---|---|
| **DJI** | DAT, TXT, CSV, SRT (subtitle telemetry), media | Full-field parsing, sample case workflows (Phantom, Inspire, Agras, Mavic family, etc.) |
| **Parrot** | Logs, JSON, media | Bebop, Anafi, Disco-style datasets and correlation |
| **Autel** | CSV / structured logs | Flight and mission log ingestion |
| **Generic / research** | ArduPilot, SkyViper, ZIP bundles, mixed folders | Directory scan, archive extraction, multi-image batch triage |

*IoT device types (routers, IP cameras, wearables, and more) are on the product roadmap; drone forensics is fully implemented today.*

## Typical Investigation Scenarios

### Airport or critical-site unauthorized flight

An unidentified aircraft is recovered near an airport or facility.

**Workflow:** import SD card or E01 image read-only → parse flight logs → reconstruct track and takeoff area → correlate video/photo EXIF → export KML/GeoJSON and report.

**Outcome:** compressed timeline from seizure to actionable intelligence—often **hours instead of days** compared to manual toolchain assembly.

### Privacy, surveillance, or espionage cases

A drone is seized after repeated overflights of private or sensitive property.

**Workflow:** media grid review → GPS from EXIF → link to flight segments → build unified timeline → export manifest and report.

### Crash or liability disputes

An agricultural or commercial drone fails mid-mission.

**Workflow:** flight log charts → anomaly and integrity analysis → pinpoint last-normal telemetry → support expert conclusions on cause and responsibility.
