UK TECHNICAL EVIDENCE
C2, lost link and containment evidence for UK drone operations
C2 resilience and containment claims must be tied to the actual aircraft, network, geography and procedures used in the UK operation.
Describe the complete C2 architecture
Record links, frequencies or networks, coverage assumptions, latency, redundancy, monitoring, dependencies and the command path used by the remote pilot.
Define deterministic lost-link actions
Specify detection, automatic aircraft response, crew decisions, escalation, termination criteria and recovery for each relevant phase of flight.
Substantiate containment
Link geofencing, navigation, flight termination, adjacent-area assumptions and test results to configuration-controlled evidence.
Frequently asked questions
Is a manufacturer feature list enough evidence?
Usually not on its own. The operator must explain configuration, use, limitations and evidence for the actual operation.
Should lost link appear in both OM and ERP?
Yes, with consistent immediate flight procedures in the manual and wider escalation or recovery actions in the ERP where relevant.
