Is this for you?
- You build drones, or fly them beyond visual line of sight, or plan to, under Canada’s 2025 rules or similar rules elsewhere.
- You are writing the policies and procedures an RPAS Operator Certificate asks for, or a customer has asked how you handle GNSS loss or a compromised link.
- You want evidence about your own operating area, not a generic threat list.
What you get
- GNSS interference exposure for your area. From my ADS-B datasets: how often aircraft flying over and near your operating area have recorded GNSS gaps and position deviations, compared with the global baseline from my published research.
- C2 link review. Your link type, how commands are authenticated and encrypted, what the aircraft does when the link is lost or degraded, and how the ground station is secured, from your documents and a walkthrough.
- Five actions. The five changes to procedures or design that reduce your exposure the most, in order.
- One-page note. A summary you can place in your operations manual or safety case, or send to a customer.

What I need from you
Your operating areas (coordinates or a map), the documents that describe your C2 link and ground station, and one engineer or chief pilot for a 60-minute walkthrough. About five working days of my time, all of it remote, with no access to your systems.
Questions I get asked
How is this different from the GNSS and ADS-B exposure analysis?
The snapshot covers one operating area and your C2 link in about five days, and ends with five actions. The full exposure analysis covers all your routes and regions in two weeks, with maps and rates for each and detailed recommendations for procedures or design.
Does this satisfy Transport Canada?
Transport Canada decides what satisfies it, and I do not certify. The snapshot gives you evidence and specific measures to write into your policies, procedures and declarations.
Our drones fly low. Does data from aircraft at altitude apply?
Interference sources on the ground affect everything within their range, and aircraft at altitude see them from much further away than a drone at 120 m does. The data shows where and how often interference happens in your region; on the results call I explain what that means at the heights you fly.
Do you need access to our systems?
No. Documents, screenshots and a walkthrough are enough.
Start with a 45-minute readiness call
Tell me what you build or operate. You leave the call with your three most important next steps, whether or not we work together; if this engagement fits, a fixed-scope proposal and quote follow within a few days.
