Compliance Lifecycle Management

Unlock the potential of your airspace—With Confidence
At Acephalography, Inc. we help you turn executive directives into operational advantage. With the federal government fast-tracking BVLOS permissions, streamlining AI waivers, and incentivizing municipal drone deployments, staying ahead of compliance is no longer optional—it’s the difference between flying and grounding your program.

We specialize in custom audit, documentation, and advisory services for public agencies, agricultural operations, and local governments navigating this fast-changing airspace. Our compliance-first mindset ensures your drone program is not just technically capable—but legally defensible, publicly trusted, and federally aligned.

Acephalography provides a safety-first, mission-focused framework of compliance systems and solutions for clients engaging UAS resources — including compliance officers, chief remote pilots-in-command, and project management professionals.

Our mission is to deploy our institutional risk management experience and expertise to an emerging field with streamlined but prudent frameworks: these consist of a system of checks and methods with modules enabling RPICs (remote pilots in command) and CRPICs (chief remote pilots in command) to better capitalize on their individual capabilities and scaling their use of radio-based UAS VLOS and BVLOS operations beyond the 1:1 ratio of human being to unmanned system acting on their behalf.

Mission Consultancy

Obtain independent audits and risk assessments of your UAS mission set, including a forward-looking framework of risk identification and mitigation tailored to your team needs.

Operational Approvals and Staffing

Ensure that your approval process, timeline, and deliverables can go as smoothly as possible with a team of certified compliance professionals capable of deploying your UAS assets as needed.

Support, Training and Workshops

Get the maximum value out of data payloads from UAS flights with secure technical support capable of post-flight processing of photogrammetry, LiDAR and RF spectrum data for export to industry standards.

BVLOS-Capable Operations Planning:
We prepare you for the expected expansion of FAA Part 91 or Part 107 BVLOS authorizations under the new executive framework—with readiness assessments, waiver guidance, and tailored risk mitigation plans.

  1. AI Waiver & Autonomous Use Compliance:
    As the EO opens the door to autonomy in drone use (especially in agriculture and inspection), we help you document safe, standards-aligned deployment pathways—with explainable AI models, operational risk assessments, and systems of oversight.

  2. Supply Chain Assurance & Domestic Sourcing Strategy:
    Expect requirements to shift toward U.S.-sourced or allied-nation drone components. We’ll map your current tech stack, identify foreign-manufactured vulnerabilities, and propose transitional roadmaps that support both compliance and performance.

  3. eVTOL and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Integration:
    For municipalities exploring advanced platforms, we create pilot program policies, public engagement strategies, and FAA liaison documentation—helping you align early with the coming AAM rulesets.

  4. Retainer-Based, Modular Support:
    Whether you’re a township with one drone or a public safety agency scaling to fleet-wide autonomy, we offer a flexible mix of monthly audits, documentation creation, and live consulting—matched to your operational complexity and regulatory exposure.
