Capabilities

Autonomy Verification & Validation

Test-strategy authoring for autonomous flight functions, structured against the customer's airworthiness basis (F3269, ASTM F38, or program-specific tailoring).
Detect-and-avoid (DAA) verification including encounter-set construction, simulation-of-record selection, and live-flight test-card design.
Contingency-management verification: lost-link behavior, lost-GPS, lost-comm, geofence violation, and the failure modes the regulator will ask about that the program team didn't plan to demonstrate.
Mission-execution autonomy review: route deviation handling, waypoint replanning, dynamic re-tasking on degraded sensor inputs.
Software assurance for the autonomy stack: requirements traceability, structural coverage at the level the airworthiness authority will accept, and the requirements-based test discipline that survives an audit.
Run-time-assurance architecture review for systems where formal verification of the autonomy logic is impractical and a monitor-and-revert approach is appropriate.

Mission-systems integration for Group 2 through Group 5 unmanned platforms. Payload-bus interface design (Ethernet, MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 818 for sensor video).
Autopilot and flight-control integration including loop tuning, sensor fusion review, and bench-to-flight readiness.
Ground-control-station coordination including STANAG 4586 interface design and operator-display review.
ICD authoring and configuration management across the airborne, datalink, and ground segments.
Datalink trade analysis: line-of-sight, beyond-line-of-sight via SATCOM, and mesh options for swarm experimentation.
Concept-of-operations support including mission-planning workflow review.

IRIG-B and PTPv2 time alignment across distributed onboard and ground-side acquisition.
Automated post-flight reduction pipelines from raw counts through engineering units with documented lineage.
Data-quality tooling: gap detection, dropout characterization, and channel-by-channel validity reporting.
Flight-test analytics for autonomy: encounter classification, decision-point logging, intervention-rate trending across program phases.
Telemetry-stream design for live monitoring at the test conductor's console, including stream-budget analysis and decode-chain implementation.
Range-system integration including time-space-position-information (TSPI) ingest from customer-furnished tracking sources.

We do not own or operate aircraft. Flight test is performed by the operator's appropriately rated crew and remote pilots.
We do not develop autonomy stacks at the algorithm level. We verify and integrate stacks our customers (or their algorithm partners) build.
We do not staff conventional manned-aircraft certification programs as a primary book of business. We coordinate with certification firms when programs cross over.
We do not subcontract data-engineering work offshore. The pipelines we build live on customer infrastructure or on our domestic compute.
