Engineering scope
What was built
MDS grew from MAVSDK Drone Show into a documented full-stack platform spanning drone-side services, GCS infrastructure, a React operator dashboard, SITL, mission workflows, and real companion computers.
Application context
How it should be evaluated
Designed for civil, commercial, research, educational, and public-display applications. Real-flight use requires qualified operators, local aviation compliance, geofencing, failsafe review, and independent safety validation.
