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.
How to Build a Safety Case for BVLOS and Autonomous Drone Operations
The next phase of drone operations will not be unlocked by aircraft capability alone. It will be unlocked by trust. Beyond visual line of sight operations, usually shortened to BVLOS, require operators to prove that the whole system can manage risk when…
Why Operational Design Domain Is the Starting Point for Autonomous Systems
Operational design domain is where autonomy becomes real engineering. It defines where a system can operate, what conditions it can handle, and when it must stop or hand off safely.
