Questions enterprise buyers ask before a program starts.
Deployment models, verification, model accuracy, residency, compliance, and commercial terms answered directly.
- 01
What does the VRAS platform actually deliver to an enterprise customer?
- A single operating layer for mission critical asset data: autonomous drone and robotics capture, AI detection and condition scoring, blockchain anchored chain of custody, and a secure cloud workspace with dashboards, reports, and APIs. Customers receive verifiable inspection evidence rather than raw imagery.
- 02
How does blockchain verification work on an inspection?
- Every captured frame, flight log, and analysis output is hashed and signed at the edge. Those hashes are written to VRAS Chain™, producing a timestamped, immutable, traceable record. Anyone holding the evidence bundle can re verify it later; any modification to the underlying file breaks the hash and the verification fails.
- 03
Can VRAS run in an air gapped or on premises environment?
- Yes. VRAS Cloud™ and VRAS Vision™ can be deployed on customer controlled infrastructure, including fully disconnected environments. Inference runs locally on edge or on premises GPUs, and ledger anchoring can be operated as a private Hyperledger Fabric network with periodic reconciliation.
- 04
Where is our data stored and who owns it?
- Customers own their data. Storage regions are selectable, including US, EU, UK, and Canada residency, using encrypted object storage with immutable backups. VRAS never trains shared models on customer imagery without a written, revocable agreement.
- 05
How accurate is the AI damage detection?
- Model performance is published per asset class and per model version. Current production suites report precision around 0.93 and recall around 0.91 across powerline, solar, roof, and pipeline classes, with calibrated confidence scores and a human in the loop review workflow for anything below the deployment threshold.
- 06
Which regulations and compliance frameworks does VRAS support?
- Operations run under FAA Part 107 with waivers for BVLOS and night missions where applicable. Platform controls map to SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, NIST 800 53, HIPAA for healthcare estates, CJIS for public safety work, and NERC reporting for utility inspection programs.
- 07
Can VRAS integrate with our existing enterprise systems?
- Yes. The Flight, Asset, AI Detection, Blockchain Verification, GIS, and Fleet APIs are documented in the developer portal, with connectors for ServiceNow, IBM Maximo, SAP EAM, ArcGIS, and Autodesk Construction Cloud, plus webhooks and signed evidence exports.
- 08
How long does an enterprise deployment take?
- A scoped pilot on a single asset class typically flies within four weeks: one week for access and security review, one week for site and airspace planning, and two weeks for capture, model tuning, and reporting. Full program rollout follows once the pilot outcomes are reviewed.
- 09
How is VRAS priced?
- Programs are licensed annually by asset volume and platform modules rather than by flight hours. Pricing covers capture, analytics seats, storage, ledger anchoring, and support tiers. Contact the enterprise team for a scoped quotation.
- 10
Do you support emergency and time critical response missions?
- Yes. Rapid response crews and docked autonomous aircraft can be tasked for damage assessment, search support, and situational mapping, with live streaming to the command dashboard and verified evidence packages produced during the incident rather than after it.
