He shares the invaluable lessons learned from our recent sub-scale trials, highlighting the need for robust command and control systems and precise autonomous landing procedures.

He also explains how the ATLAS-C platform is designed to be a leader in its class, capable of carrying payloads up to 75 kg over distances exceeding 1,000 kilometers while maintaining a medium risk profile under the JARUS SORA framework. This strategic balance gives us a unique advantage in the market.
