Regulatory Oversight

Support compliance within a rapidly evolving drone industry

As drone adoption accelerated across commercial and recreational markets, the FAA required systems capable of supporting regulatory compliance and oversight for unmanned aircraft manufacturers.

Digital Infrastructure

Create a platform for managing compliance declarations

The FAA needed a secure platform where manufacturers could submit declarations confirming that their aircraft meet required design and production rules.

Managing compliance in a growing drone ecosystem

The FAA is responsible for regulating the safe integration of unmanned aerial vehicles into U.S. airspace. As the drone industry expanded, the agency needed systems capable of supporting regulatory oversight while enabling manufacturers of small unmanned aircraft to declare compliance with federal design and production rules.

Carimus partnered with the FAA to design and develop a web-based portal supporting the UAS Declaration of Compliance program. The project included discovery, UX strategy, architecture design, and full application development. The resulting platform enables manufacturers to submit compliance declarations while allowing FAA administrators to review submissions, manage compliance data, and oversee participation in the program.

Impact

Regulatory Platform

Scalable infrastructure supporting drone compliance oversight

Carimus designed and developed a public-facing compliance portal that allows unmanned aircraft manufacturers to submit regulatory declarations while enabling FAA administrators to review submissions and manage compliance data through a structured digital interface.
