Structured risk assessment and regulatory compliance for drone operations in the EU. Built for pilots and operators conducting missions in the Specific category – with full support for SORA v2.5, EU 2019/947 and U-space.
MissionDesk guides you step by step through the full SORA assessment, mission briefing, and pre-flight preparation – from iGRC to final SAIL classification and PDF report.
Automatic calculation of the intrinsic Ground Risk Class based on UAS dimensions, operating speed, and population density, in accordance with SORA v2.5 Table 2.
Air Risk Class is determined from airspace class and altitude. Full support for U-space airspace (EU 2021/664), including automatic ARC mitigation via U-space services.
Interactive assessment of all 24 Operational Safety Objectives. Each OSO is linked to its robustness criterion (M/D/O) and adequacy level (Low / Medium / High / Very High).
Assessment of the operational volume, contingency zone, and ground risk buffer. Determines GRC mitigation credit based on the selected containment strategy.
Import mission files directly from ArduPilot Mission Planner or Litchi. MissionDesk uses the waypoint data as the foundation for the full risk assessment and briefing.
Generates a complete pre-flight briefing including current METAR / TAF weather, NOTAMs, and radio frequencies for aerodromes along the planned route.
Automatic SAIL determination from GRC and ARC. Classifies the operation as Open, Specific (PDRA / STS / ConOps), or Certified category per EU 2019/947.
Generates a structured PDF report covering the complete assessment and briefing. Ready to attach to an authorisation application submitted to your national CAA.
MissionDesk implements SORA v2.5 (ED Decision 2025/018/R) in full – with an abort-on-error pipeline that halts on invalid inputs before they propagate.
All calculations and workflows are verified against current EASA documents and EU regulations.
