Making Drone Flights Safer: Tracking Single-Point Failures Through a Systems of Systems Approach
Show Notes

Drones are considerably smaller than most crewed aircraft. This means that in order to fly, they can't be weighed down by multiple redundant components, making it more likely to have single-point failures - a component/system that, should it fail, would render the system inoperable. We all know that safety is paramount for advanced regulations and today's commercial operations. So, what is being done to address the risk of single-point failures?  Tony Pucciarella, Founder and CEO of AlarisPro, speaks with us about this challenge and how AlarisPro is leveraging a systems of systems approach to track component parts and identify single point failures before they become a hazard to build a safer fleet management system for drones.
