Preliminary technical planning document

setTitle(e.target.value)} aria-label="Document title" />

Management review basis for a modular drone assembly, integration, verification, and controlled test-flight laboratory.

Document status: setOwner(e.target.value)} /> Revision: Planning baseline Prepared: July 2026

Use limitation. This document is suitable for preliminary facility planning and management review. It is not a certified engineering design, an aircraft type-certification package, a flight authorization, or a substitute for a site-specific hazard analysis.

setBasis(e.currentTarget.textContent)}> {basis}

Operating modelPrefabricated aircraft-system items are received, inspected, kitted, assembled, integrated, tested, documented, and released to controlled flight.

Primary facility conceptTwo-tier capability: internal assembly, integration, indoor flight, instrumentation, and pre-compliance testing; specialist or accredited external testing where necessary.

Design envelopeFinal building size, containment, electrical capacity, lifting, ventilation, and staffing shall be based on the largest, fastest, heaviest, and highest-energy planned test article.

Quality objectiveEvery released result should be configuration-controlled, traceable to calibrated equipment, repeatable, and independently reviewable.

1.1 Explicit exclusions

Drone components are consumables or test articles, not laboratory equipment. The equipment lists intentionally exclude airframes, structural flight parts, motors, propellers, batteries intended for flight, flight controllers, navigation units, radios, antennas supplied as aircraft hardware, payloads, and other aircraft components. They may appear in test procedures, inventory controls, or capability descriptions only to define what the laboratory supports.

These planning assumptions size the facility and staffing model without asserting a production commitment. Replace them with the approved demand forecast before procurement.

Indicative quantities are planning ranges. Final ratings and quantities shall be calculated from the approved aircraft envelope, parallel-work model, safety assessment, and local code review.

5.1 EHS and emergency controls

Maintain a facility risk assessment covering rotating parts, kinetic energy, electrical shock and arc hazards, batteries, chemicals, compressed air, noise, lifting, fire, RF exposure, and loss of control.
Provide marked pedestrian routes, unobstructed exits, emergency lighting, first aid, eye wash where chemicals are used, appropriate fire equipment, and emergency communications.
Use local exhaust for soldering, adhesives, solvents, coatings, and other contaminants. Select filtration for the actual contaminant rather than assuming a generic filter is adequate.
Apply lockout/tagout or an equivalent isolation procedure to energized test equipment. Use remote arming and independent emergency stops for propulsion and flight tests.
Restrict access to battery charging, RF transmission, propulsion testing, and controlled flight. Use warning lights, door interlocks, key control, and test-in-progress indications.

5.2 Storage and quarantine

Separate accepted, awaiting inspection, nonconforming, returned, damaged, and obsolete articles. Status must be visible and recorded electronically or on controlled labels.
Provide dedicated, ventilated, access-controlled storage for energy-storage articles and flammable or chemically incompatible materials.
Do not return a damaged or suspect energy-storage article to normal stock without a documented technical disposition.
Control temperature, humidity, shelf life, lot, revision, and cycle history where those factors affect safety or performance.

5.3 Calibration and measurement assurance

Maintain an asset register containing equipment ID, model, serial number, range, accuracy, resolution, calibration status, certificates, maintenance, and permitted use.
Use competent calibration providers with an appropriate scope where available. Set intervals using risk, use, historical drift, manufacturer guidance, and measurement criticality.
Evaluate results produced with equipment later found out of tolerance; quarantine affected reports where necessary and document the disposition.
Verify instruments after relocation, overload, repair, damage, or abnormal readings. Never use an instrument outside its approved range.

5.4 Quality-control gates

The flight area shall be designed around credible kinetic energy and failure modes, not nominal aircraft mass alone. Containment, barriers, netting, observation, and recovery equipment require a documented engineering basis for each supported aircraft class.

{aircraftTypes.map((type) => (

{type.name}

Capability basis: {type.capability}

))}

Staffing should be treated as a competency matrix rather than only a headcount. Personnel may cover multiple roles in a small laboratory, but independent review and range-safety authority should not be diluted for safety-critical tests.

Priority 1 — Governance and safety basis: appoint accountable ownership; define aircraft classes, maximum energy, annual capacity, operating modes, risk acceptance, and local authority interfaces.
Priority 2 — Facility essentials: establish receiving/quarantine, assembly, electronics/ESD, quality records, storage, lifting, ventilation, fire protection, and emergency systems.
Priority 3 — Core verification: procure calibrated dimensional, electrical, power, data-acquisition, propulsion-containment, and controlled-flight equipment.
Priority 4 — Configuration and quality system: implement asset control, calibration, build travelers, test cards, NCR/CAPA, software baselines, data retention, and independent review.
Priority 5 — Progressive flight capability: begin with low-energy indoor tests, then expand by aircraft class after containment, emergency response, instrumentation, and crew competency are demonstrated.
Priority 6 — Advanced and external capability: add HIL, RF/EMC pre-compliance, environmental, structural, and higher-energy facilities based on demand; use accredited external laboratories for formal certification or tests outside internal scope.

Local-authority verification points. Before facility commitment, confirm building occupancy and fire classification; battery storage and charging limits; suppression and detection; electrical installation; hazardous-material and waste rules; worker-protection requirements; noise and vibration limits; RF spectrum and intentional-transmitter testing; EMC requirements; outdoor-flight permissions; pilot competency; registration; airspace; remote identification; operations near people or airports; and any customer requirement for accredited testing or product certification.

For United States work, FAA rules and guidance may be relevant to outdoor operations, while OSHA, NFPA, FCC, and applicable electrical and EMC requirements may govern facility and product activities. These references are not automatically applicable outside the United States. The authority having jurisdiction, civil-aviation authority, fire authority, insurer, spectrum regulator, and customer contract shall determine the binding requirements.

Use ISO/IEC 17025 as the principal reference for technically competent testing and calibration controls; use ISO 9001:2015 as the broader quality-management framework. ASTM F2910, ASTM F3657, ASTM F3389/F3389M, and ASTM F3705 can structure design, verification, impact-safety, and detect-and-avoid evidence, but they do not replace a project-specific system-safety assessment or operational authorization.
