Enabling Safe, Scalable Innovation in a Risk-Based Regulatory Landscape

UAS are transforming industries—from logistics and agriculture to infrastructure inspection and emergency response. Their widespread adoption hinges on balancing operational flexibility with safety-critical reliability, all while navigating evolving risk-based regulations such as the JARUS Specific Operational Risk Assessment (SORA) and EASA SC Light-UAS. At Delta, we specialize in helping UAS manufacturers and operators embed safety and reliability into higher risk platforms at SAIL III and above in the specific category or those that require a type certificate.

Navigating UAS-Specific Complexity in Civil Aerospace

  • Integrated Safety: Autonomous flight stacks, detect-and-avoid systems, Command and Control and redundancy require cross-disciplinary safety analyses to address interdependencies
  • Regulatory Equivalence: Compliance with EU 2019/947 and Part 21 demands system-wide safety and reliability per SC Light-UAS.2510 and JARUS AMC.1309
  • Cybersecurity: Connected UAS operating in U-Space require robust protection against data breaches or spoofing, per ED-202A guidelines
