Independent UAS regulatory & engineering partner

Make complex drone operations safe, authorisable and scalable.

ConOps qualification, SORA 2.5, SAIL determination, operational authorisation, aircraft evidence and continuing compliance — from concept of operations to keeping the authorisation valid as your operation changes.

Where are you today?

Start from the problem, not the brochure.

Most conversations begin with one of four situations. Choose yours.

I need to authorise an operation

The mission doesn't fit an open category or standard scenario, and the SORA pathway is unclear.

Operational authorisation

I need to cover aircraft certification requirements

The evidence the certification pathway demands — and the way to produce it — are still unclear.

Aircraft & technical evidence

I need to scale and repeat operations

One authorisation works. New sites, aircraft, countries or missions keep restarting the clock.

Continuing operations support

I need an independent technical review

The dossier exists — internal or supplier-built — and needs challenge before submission.

Independent SORA/SAIL review

01 · Services

Operational authorisation, backed by the full value chain.

The lead service is making complex missions authorisable — and we guide you through the whole operation lifecycle to resolve what the assessment exposes, in the aircraft, the organisation or the business case.

Operational authorisation & SORA/SAIL

A traceable safety argument — not a populated template. We align the aircraft, airspace, ground risk, safety objectives, organisation and operational reality into one coherent dossier, then stay engaged through authority questions.

EASA SORA 2.5 framework · DGAC/AlphaTango submission practice in France.

Discuss this project
  • ConOps qualification and pathway decision (STS / PDRA / SORA)
  • SORA 2.5 assessment: GRC, ARC, mitigations, SAIL determination
  • OSO evidence matrix and containment argument
  • Operations manual, ERP and compliance evidence
  • Authority-response support through to decision
  • Post-authorisation change management

Aircraft & technical evidence

Design evidence that survives SORA and DVR scrutiny. We close the gap between what the operation requires and what the aircraft file demonstrates.

  • C-class conformity and EU 2019/945 technical files
  • EASA Design Verification Report (DVR) preparation
  • SC Light-UAS means of compliance, SAIL III evidence
  • Reliability & safety analyses: FHA, FMEA/FMECA, FTA
  • Containment, lost-link and flight-test evidence

Continuing operations support

Support beyond submission, so that new sites, aircraft, configurations and countries don't force you to restart from zero.

  • Regulatory watch and controlled documentation
  • Configuration baseline and change classification
  • Safety management, audits and occurrence assessment
  • Route and site replication with delta assessments
  • Cross-border deployment and renewal support

02 · First engagements

A bounded first step, before a large commitment.

Every engagement starts with a fixed, paid, clearly scoped deliverable — so you can judge the value before committing to a full programme.

3–5 working days

Authorisability diagnostic

When: the mission isn't frozen and the pathway — STS, PDRA or SORA — is uncertain.

  • Pathway decision and provisional SAIL view
  • Technical and operational blockers
  • Evidence, schedule and budget roadmap
Request a diagnostic

1–3 weeks

Independent SORA/SAIL review

When: an internal or supplier dossier needs challenge before submission.

  • Assumption audit: GRC, ARC, SAIL
  • OSO evidence matrix
  • Likely authority questions, answered early
Request a review

6–16+ weeks

SORA 2.5 dossier build

When: a new Specific-category authorisation is required.

  • ConOps, SORA, manuals, ERP and annexes
  • Compliance matrix and evidence coordination
  • Authority-response support
Scope a dossier

Long-term support

Authorisation maintenance

When: an approved operation will change, replicate or expand.

  • Regulatory watch and document control
  • Change classification and periodic review
  • Audit and authority support on call
Book a meeting

Durations are planning indications, not promises — every project is unique at the outset. Scope, deliverables, acceptance criteria and fees are fixed in each proposal, so you get the most accurate picture possible before committing — including what remains the responsibility of the operator, the manufacturer and the authority.

03 · Method

Qualify. Demonstrate. Maintain.

Qualify

Validate regulatory feasibility before investing in a full dossier.

  • Mission, environment and aircraft scoping
  • Category and pathway decision
  • Provisional risk and SAIL implications
  • Gap map, decision gates, budget view

Demonstrate

Build the safety argument and the evidence behind it.

  • SORA, OSOs, containment and mitigations
  • Manuals, ERP and organisational evidence
  • Manufacturer and flight-test data coordination
  • Submission and authority-response support

Maintain

Keep the authorisation valid as the operation evolves.

  • Configuration and documentation control
  • Change assessment: aircraft, sites, missions
  • Replication to new routes and countries
  • Audits, training and safety management

Who decides what. The authority grants the authorisation — we never imply otherwise. The operator owns the operation; the manufacturer owns the aircraft evidence it committed to provide. Our role is to prepare, challenge and support the applicant so the decision is taken on a complete, coherent file.

04 · Sectors

Built for demanding missions.

Public safety & crisis response

One defensible framework across fire, flood, search-and-rescue and hazardous-material missions — air safety, doctrine and data protection together.

Infrastructure, energy & industry

Linear BVLOS inspection, docked systems and site operations that integrate with HSE, security and maintenance requirements — repeatably.

Logistics & medical delivery

Turn a pilot route into a network: a reusable safety baseline, controlled deltas per site and continuing governance.

Agriculture

Secure the season before it starts: regulatory scenario, responsibilities, procedures and dossier matched to your fields, aircraft and operating model.

Manufacturers & EU market entry

Can your drone be sold and operated in Europe — and does the addressable market justify the cost? Compliance pathway, use-case eligibility and return assessment.

Investors & founders

Technical, regulatory and market due diligence: test whether maturity, certification schedule, capital needs and market eligibility support the investment case.

05 · Why us

Independent, and accountable for coherence.

The hardest part of a complex operation is rarely one document. It is keeping the ConOps, the SORA, the aircraft evidence, the manuals and the organisation from contradicting one another — while the authority asks questions and the programme moves.

This is an industry built on individual trust: nobody shares operational data until they trust the professionalism of the person across the table. So here is who you will be dealing with.

  • Aeronautical engineering background
  • 15+ years of experience in aeronautical regulatory compliance and safety management
  • Real operational experience — we managed the authorisation processes and the lifecycle of some of the most innovative drone operations in Europe
  • Deep ecosystem understanding — fluent coordination across operator, manufacturer, end user, test organisation and authority
  • Active in the industry's responsible development — article authorship, book contributions, congress speaking, drone think-tank management and academic research

What we don't do

  • We never promise an authority decision or a fixed approval date.
  • We don't fill templates — we build traceable safety arguments.
  • We separate verified facts, client assumptions and consultant judgement in every deliverable.
  • We don't claim approvals, notified-body or authority status we do not hold.
  • Confidentiality and conflict checks come before any engagement between competing parties.
