Start With the ConOps Before Adding More AI to Autonomous Systems
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.
Autonomous UAS Programs Need Continuous Assurance, Not One-Time Approval
Autonomous UAS programs cannot treat safety evidence as a one-time approval package. Continuous assurance connects software releases, runtime monitoring, anomaly review, human oversight, and leadership decisions after every field deployment.
