Change Control Is the Hidden Scaling Problem in Autonomous Drone Programs
Autonomous drone programs need disciplined change control for software, mission rules, safety envelopes, and operator procedures before they scale fielded autonomy into higher-risk operations.
Autonomous Systems Need Handoff Protocols Before They Need More Autonomy
Autonomous drones and unmanned systems need disciplined handoff protocols that define when autonomy transfers authority to humans, how supervisors regain control, and what evidence proves the handoff is safe.
Autonomous Drone Programs Need Requirements Traceability Before Flight Test
A practical engineering leadership guide to why autonomous drone and UAS programs need requirements traceability before flight test, connecting mission needs, hazards, verification, validation, human factors, and evidence-based decisions.
