DroneSMS helps commercial drone operators organize job documentation, hazard assessments, crew coordination, and flight-day workflows from the field.
From site arrival to client handoff. DroneSMS keeps your documentation organized, professional, and field-ready without slowing you down.
Enter the job address, client, date, drone platform, and crew. DroneSMS loads your core documentation templates automatically.
Fill out your JHA, preflight checklist, crew briefing, and airspace authorization from your tablet in the field. Everything saves to the job file.
One tap generates a professional PDF operations packet. Hand it to your client, attach it to your insurance file, or keep it on record.
DroneSMS helps operators document how jobs were planned, briefed, coordinated, and executed from the field.
Every field locked at completion. Every form version-stamped. Every acknowledgment timestamped. Structured operational records generated directly from the field.
Purpose-built for commercial drone operators. Not a generic form builder. Operational infrastructure that documents how you prepare, coordinate, and execute every job.
Drone-specific JHA with hazard identification, likelihood and severity ratings, risk scoring, and mitigation documentation. Derived from peer-reviewed STPA hazard analysis research.
Platform-agnostic preflight inspection checklist. Battery status, signal check, airspace verification, crew briefing confirmation. Everything logged and time-stamped.
Document every training event for every crew member. Role, date, method, trainer, digital acknowledgment. Exportable by employee or date range for audit, insurance, or legal purposes.
One-tap export of your complete job file as a professional PDF. All templates, crew sign-offs, and required legal disclaimer included. Ready for any client, insurer, or regulator.
Digital crew briefing with per-person acknowledgment capture. Proves the briefing happened, who was briefed, when, and what was covered.
Airspace authorization log with LAANC confirmation fields. Documents your authorization number, provider, and verification date for every controlled airspace operation.
Every feature, template, and workflow in DroneSMS maps to one of the four pillars of the ICAO Safety Management System framework, used across commercial aviation worldwide.
Operator commitments, crew roles, authority structure, emergency contacts, and stop-work authority.
Site intake, JHA, airspace review, LAANC, hazard identification, and pre-job risk rating.
Preflight checklists, incident reporting, deviation logging, flight records, and equipment inspection.
Employee training logs, crew briefing templates, and client-facing safety communication.
Registered drones in the U.S. with no standard field documentation system for operators.
FAA-provided job-level operations documentation platform exists for small commercial operators.
Safety requirements identified for small UAS operators in peer-reviewed hazard analysis research. Operator-level gaps are significant.
Working near the public, commercial buildings, and sensitive infrastructure. Structured operational records that demonstrate professionalism and win enterprise contracts.
Roof, solar, utility, and infrastructure inspection teams who need repeatable job documentation, crew training records, and incident logs that satisfy commercial client requirements.
Multi-pilot operations that need standardized safety procedures, consistent crew training documentation, and an operational documentation system that scales as you add operators and clients.
DroneSMS is not built on opinion. The platform framework, template fields, and risk categories are derived from published academic literature. That is a differentiator no competitor in this space can claim.
Built on peer-reviewed UAS safety research and the ICAO SMS framework, accessed through Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
Plioutsias et al. STPA hazard analysis of small drone operations identified 70 safety requirements. Significant gaps found at the operator level. DroneSMS is built to address those gaps.
Analysis of FAA waiver rules confirmed that FAA documents do not adequately address how operators should assess and control risk once hazards are identified.
International Civil Aviation Organization four-pillar SMS standard. The same framework used across commercial aviation, now structured for small commercial drone operators.
