Question 1

Is this a finished product?

Accepted Answer

No. The UAS Mission Maintenance Tracker is a prototype and innovative concept project. It is not certified, not production-ready, not an official maintenance authority, and it does not provide flight authorization.

Question 2

What does UAS mean?

Accepted Answer

UAS stands for Unmanned Aircraft System: the aircraft together with the control components and personnel required to operate it.

Question 3

Is the demo using real data?

Accepted Answer

No. The demo runs on synthetic sample data. It does not expose information entered by other visitors, and browser file operations are previews only.

Question 4

How is my data handled?

Accepted Answer

The website stores only what you submit through its forms, along with your consent choice. The desktop prototype is local-first: workspace data stays on the operator's machine.

Question 5

Can I contribute?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Contributor participation is open across engineering, design, security, UAS operations, research, communications, documentation, testing, education, partnerships, and funding.

Question 6

Is the source code public?

Accepted Answer

Not yet. The prototype is privately maintained while governance, licensing, security standards, and future public repositories are established.

Question 7

Does this replace regulatory maintenance records?

Accepted Answer

No. It is a concept tool for evaluating maintenance continuity workflows. Programs remain responsible for their own regulatory obligations and record-keeping requirements.
