The minute it matters, the drone is already flying.

Nine chat-ready mission templates for rescue, emergency response, and facility security. Thermal payloads, spotlight/loudspeaker integration, persistent docking systems, and Blue-UAS filtering for agencies that need NDAA compliance.

Chat-ready mission templates.

Describe the mission in your own words. DRONA classifies into one of the templates below, picks the form factor, autonomy level, and sensor payload, then runs end-to-end physics validation.

Mountain SAR
SAF-01
Thermal search over rough terrain. Strobe, loudspeaker, and basic-aid drop capability.

Compatibility envelope

Industry-specific rules the engine enforces.

On top of the 12 universal compatibility rules, public safety · sar · security designs run against the predicates below. Errors block export; warnings surface with a plain-English fix.

RuleWhat it checksSeverity
blue-uas-filterFederal/LE agencies → Blue UAS / NDAA-889 part filter required. Auto-applied on enterprise plans.info
night-lightingNight ops (SAR, security) → anti-collision lighting visible for 3 statute miles (US FAA §107.29).error
loudspeaker-wattageLoudspeaker payload ≥ 25W continuous for outdoor operation; warn below.warn
thermal-resolutionSAR missions → thermal sensor minimum 640×512 radiometric recommended for human-detection at 100+ m AGL.warn
tethered-powerTethered ops → HVDC system, ground-fault protection, licensed electrician sign-off at setup.warn
atak-integrationTactical use → consider ATAK plugin support on FC (ArduPilot native, PX4 via MAVLink bridge).info
dock-site-surveyAutonomous dock ops → site survey for landing area, wind, obstacles; recommended pre-deployment checklist.info
