Tasker Safety Management System: Expanding Accessibility and Integration to Streamline UAV Operations for the enablement of Industrial Drone Use
FY 2025-26 · 2025-06-01
Summary
Tasker is a web-based safety management system designed to reduce the complexities associated with UAV use in the aerospace industry. Tasker is currently available as a commercial product but is in the early stages of growth and trying to scale through greater user adoption. These concerns will be addressed in two parts, first with the release of a mobile app and second increasing automation through integration with common UAV Ground Control Systems (GCS).
The proposed project would take an existing prototype mobile application and develop it for commercial release.
Additionally, the project will look to increase automation through integration with popular GCS features such as flight log import and export and others.

Description (French)
Tasker est un système de gestion de la sécurité basé sur le Web conçu pour réduire les complexités associées à l’utilisation des drones dans l’industrie aérospatiale. Tasker est actuellement disponible en tant que produit commercial, mais il en est aux premiers stades de sa croissance et tente de s’adapter grâce à une plus grande adoption de la part des utilisateurs. Ces préoccupations seront abordées en deux temps, d’abord avec la sortie d’une application mobile et ensuite en augmentant l’automatisation grâce à l’intégration avec les systèmes de contrôle au sol (GCS) communs des drones. Le projet proposé s’appuiera sur un prototype d’application mobile existant et le développera en vue d’une commercialisation. En outre, le projet cherchera à accroître l’automatisation par l’intégration de fonctions GCS populaires telles que l’importation et l’exportation de journaux de vol et d’autres.
