Autonomous Drone Programs Need Change Control Before Fielded Autonomy Scales
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.
Why Autonomous Systems Programs Need a ConOps Before They Need More AI
Autonomous systems programs do not fail only because the technology is immature. They fail when teams add automation before defining the mission, operating boundaries, human roles, and safety evidence.
