Fleet Management
Create, organize, and maintain your drone fleets in the Verge Aero Portal.
The Fleet Management page lets you create new fleets, delete empty ones, move devices between fleets, and rename fleet regions. Navigate to Fleet → My Fleets in the Verge Aero Portal to access these tools.
Creating a Fleet
Select Create Fleet from the My Fleets toolbar to open the fleet creation dialog.
Fill in the following fields:
Device Type
Yes
Select X1 or X7. This determines which drones can be assigned to the fleet and cannot be changed after creation.
Region
Yes
A label that identifies where or how the fleet is used — for example, North America, Los Angeles X1s, or EU Tour.
Devices CSV
No
A plain-text or .csv file containing a flat list of device identifiers to add to the new fleet at creation, one per line.
Select Create Fleet to confirm. The new fleet will appear immediately in the fleet list.
Adding Devices at Creation Time
If you supply a Devices CSV, each identifier in the file is looked up and validated before being moved into the new fleet. The Portal accepts two identifier formats:
X1 serial numbers — used for X1 drones (e.g.
6340)Full UIDs — used for X7 drones (e.g.
P8DR4T3U96)
A device is only moved if all of the following are true:
The identifier matches an existing device in the system.
The device currently belongs to a fleet that your organization owns.
The device type matches the fleet type — X1 serials can only go into X1 fleets, and X7 UIDs can only go into X7 fleets.
After the fleet is created, a success notification confirms how many devices were added. If any identifiers in your file did not meet the criteria above, a warning notification lists them so you can investigate.
Transferring Devices Between Fleets
Devices can be moved between fleets at any time using the Transfer Devices action. This is useful when reorganizing a fleet, splitting a large fleet into regional groups, or consolidating devices before a show.
There are two ways to open the Transfer Devices dialog:
From the fleet list — select the Transfer Devices button in the toolbar (no source fleet pre-selected), or click the ↔ icon on a specific fleet row to pre-fill the source context.
From inside a fleet — select the Transfer Devices button in the fleet detail header to transfer devices out of the currently viewed fleet.
In the dialog, select a target fleet from the dropdown and upload a Devices CSV (same format as above). The same validation rules apply — only devices your organization owns and of the matching drone type will be transferred. Any identifiers that do not qualify are listed in a warning notification after submission.
Renaming a Fleet Region
The Region field is the primary label for a fleet. To rename it:
From the fleet list — click the pencil icon (✏) next to the region name in the table row.
From inside a fleet — click the pencil icon in the fleet detail header, next to the fleet stats bar.
A small dialog will appear with the current region name pre-filled. Edit the name and select Save. The change takes effect immediately across the Portal.
Deleting a Fleet
A fleet can only be deleted when it contains zero devices. On the fleet list, the trash icon for a non-empty fleet is disabled — hovering over it shows the tooltip "Fleet must be empty to delete."
Once a fleet is empty, the trash icon becomes active. Clicking it opens a confirmation dialog that asks you to confirm before proceeding. Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.
To delete a fleet that still contains devices, first transfer all of its devices to another fleet using the Transfer Devices flow described above.
Uploading FAA Data
Upload FAA Data in the My Fleets toolbar attaches FAA registration numbers to your devices in bulk, rather than editing them one at a time. Registration is what the fleet's FAA compliance checks read, so keeping it current here is what keeps those checks meaningful.
