From competition to U-space certification and implementation – a story about “what if…?”

Abstract
It will not be an exaggeration to say that the prototype is not more than 10% of overall success. Usually, tedious and boring work begins after the trial phase. As a rule, this stage breaks companies apart, screaming for bigger budgets, bigger teams and the right regulations. The reality is absolutely ruthless. It is unforgiving and in fact very different from the assumptions we usually make during the R&D phase. Tests on real users reveal the weakest elements of the project. Often, we ask ourselves: “But how?”, “Why now?”, “A normal user wouldn’t do that…”, or we simply get stuck in a loop of “what if” questions.
During this keynote, we will talk about the process of growing a prototype into a certified system.
