Updating a fleet without breaking it
Updating one vehicle on a bench is trivial. Updating hundreds of vehicles in the field, across firmware versions, configurations and hardware revisions accumulated over years, without turning one of them into a brick, is not.
We build update and configuration systems with the failure cases designed first: atomic updates that either complete or roll back, recovery that works when an update is interrupted mid-write, verification that the vehicle is running what the fleet record says, and staged rollout so a bad release reaches a handful of units rather than all of them.
Version alignment as a safety property
A fleet whose members are quietly running different firmware is a fleet whose behaviour cannot be predicted, whose incidents cannot be reproduced and whose certification basis is questionable. We treat knowing exactly what every unit is running as a safety property, and build the tooling that keeps it true.
Predicting failures instead of reacting to them
Components rarely fail without warning; they fail without anyone listening. Motor current signatures drift, cell impedance rises, vibration spectra change, thermal behaviour shifts — usually well before the failure.
We build monitoring that models normal behaviour for each specific airframe and flags departure from it, so maintenance is scheduled against evidence rather than against a calendar or an incident. The aim is a warning several flight hours before the failure, with enough specificity to name the component.
