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.
Before You Scale Autonomy, Run an Autonomy Readiness Review
Autonomous UAS programs need more than flight demos before they scale. An autonomy readiness review turns safety, human factors, data, software, and operational evidence into a disciplined go/no-go decision.
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.
