| Topic 講題 | Leveraging technology development platforms to drive both innovation and regulatory compliance |
Abstract 撮要 | Accelerated technological innovation is often positioned as being in opposition to maintaining compliance in highly-regulated, safety-critical sectors. We present instead the preferred paradigm where innovation and compliance can be driven together. We show examples of how our UAS technology development platform enables product developers, system operators, and other end users to build, test and validate new UAS products while ensuring regulatory compliance is maintained by design and by default. |
