About
Why this project exists
Small UAS programs grew faster than their record-keeping. Maintenance history ended up scattered across shifts and spreadsheets, while readiness answers depended on whoever happened to be present. This prototype explores what happens when the aircraft itself carries its record.
The UAS Mission Maintenance Tracker began as a concept build: model the way maintenance conditions, mission events, parts status, operator qualification, and readiness checks connect to a single unmanned aircraft, then test whether that structure holds up against how programs actually operate.
It deliberately includes profiles that traditional maintenance systems handle poorly: FPV airframes, disposable lots, and one-way missions where expenditure is a normal outcome rather than an incident.
Values
What guides the work
Accuracy over marketing
The project describes what it is: a prototype exploring a maintenance continuity model.
Operator ownership
Data belongs to the program that produced it. Local-first is a commitment, not a fallback.
Inclusive contribution
Transferable experience is valued. Contributors do not need an aviation background to help.
Neutral applicability
Built for commercial, industrial, research, emergency-response, educational, and public-safety use.
Current status
Where the prototype stands
A working interactive demo runs in the browser on synthetic sample data. The desktop application provides encrypted workspace files, persistence, and native exports. Neither is certified, production-ready, an official maintenance authority, nor a provider of flight authorization.
Contributor participation is open. The current prototype is privately maintained while governance, licensing, security standards, and future public repositories are established.

Robert Anthony Development
The prototype is created and currently maintained by Robert Anthony Development. The project brand is primary; the collaboration is organization-led and open to contributors.
This project is being developed through an open, organization-led collaboration. We welcome developers, UAS professionals, communications experts, designers, researchers, testers, educators, and people bringing transferable experience from every background.
