How it works
The four stages every SupaDrone mission moves through, from request to delivered data.
The four stages every SupaDrone mission moves through, from request to delivered data.
Every mission, whether it is a weekly progress survey or a single urgent inspection, moves through the same four stages. The lifecycle is the product.
You select a registered site or asset and request an approved inspection. You describe the outcome you need, not the flight: the roof of building C, the stockpile in the north yard, this week of progress on the east elevation.
Because approvals are already held for the site, there is no separate permission step between your request and the flight. See Regulatory and airspace for why that is true, and what it does not mean.
SkyyOS checks the request against the conditions that actually govern whether it can fly:
A request that fails validation does not fly. Weather is the most common reason a mission is held or rescheduled, and it is treated as a normal outcome rather than a fault. See Weather and constraints.
A qualified operator reviews and supervises the mission using supported aircraft and dock systems. Human supervision is a designed feature of the service, not a temporary limitation.
SkyyOS coordinates and monitors the operation. It does not replace the aircraft autopilot or the vendor flight-safety systems. Flight-critical control and aircraft recovery remain within the aircraft and dock. See Safety and supervision.
Captured data is processed, quality checked and delivered. Depending on the mission type that is imagery, measurements, an alert, a change comparison or a written report. See What you receive.
Every completed mission leaves a record: what was requested, what conditions it flew in, and what was captured. That record is what makes repeat missions comparable to each other, and it is what makes SupaVault possible.
