On Monday, Andy Thurling, VP of Airspace Innovation, presented at the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) Computing on the Fly workshop on edge autonomy and sovereignty as the foundation for scalable drone operations. He outlined DroneUp's three-pillar framework - awareness, control, and assurance - demonstrating how edge computing enables resilient, coordinated airspace management even when connectivity fails. Drawing on operational experience, Andy showed how ATOMx and Uncrew deliver this vision through distributed situational understanding, federated authorization, and autonomous response capabilities. His presentation positioned this approach as a blueprint for U.S. leadership in next-generation airspace infrastructure, where sovereignty and scalability are integrated by design. #ComputingontheFly #DroneComputing #EdgeAutonomy #AirspaceSovereignty
