Initial wedge
A universal vision, tested through one bounded mission.
The universal vision is deliberately broad — the first product is deliberately narrow: a simulation-first, civilian drone observation and inspection pilot. Users specify an objective; Tilfang derives the sensing and planning capabilities, selects from a known resource catalogue, generates a governed mission proposal, and produces an auditable result using simulation or authorised operations.
Pilot mission
“Create a documented visual and thermal assessment of a defined, authorised area.”
First prototype — in scope
- Structured mission objective as input
- Small set of derived capabilities
- Catalogue of simulated or preconfigured resources
- Explained resource selection
- Mission plan and checklist generation
- Simulated execution or historical data
- Provenance-rich report
- Human approval before any real-world action
Explicitly out of scope
- Unrestricted autonomous flight
- Arbitrary device discovery on the public internet
- Control of unknown hardware
- Removal of licensed human operators
- Universal multi-domain orchestration
- High-risk surveillance, weapons, or targeting functions
The pilot will be shaped with a handful of design partners, each around one bounded, real mission. What that involves
The pilot is where the business model's first stage would earn its keep, and the roadmap's first two phases describe how it runs. Shaping it is design-partner work.
