The agency needs faster dispatch launches without spending its only training window on the wrong change.
A workflow change protects speed of adoption while a CAD change protects the long-term handoff.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My watch commander asked why crews still type an address when dispatch already has it.”
Pooja Deshpande · DFR Program Manager
Runs the agency’s remote-flight program and reports operational results to command staff.
What is at stake
Only 54% of dispatch-originated missions are completing, versus 91% of manually created missions. You must weigh a faster customer workflow change against a CAD change that could remove the handoff problem at its source.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- faster adoption vs durable integration
- field-window certainty vs broader validation
- operator simplicity vs technical completeness
