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.
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.
