Certification-Driven Product Strategy & Engineering for UAS

Formerly autonomy79

About

Certonomy is the continuation of my earlier work that started under the autonomy79 name. I support UAS manufacturers and 'operating OEMs' together with their development teams in turning innovative capabilities into certifiable, market-ready products — with a strong focus on software-intensive systems and compliance demonstration.

Projects

Typical engagements include certification-driven product strategy, compliance demonstration planning, development roadmaps aligned with means of compliance, qualification and verification concepts, product acceptance support, and demonstration / flight-test preparation for UAS programs.
