Why Modern Drone Apps Need a Hardware-Agnostic OS
Why Modern Drone Apps Need a Hardware-Agnostic OS
Drone apps have come a long way. The baseline expectations among pro operators are real-time, no lag feeds, autonomous navigation, payload automation, and fleet-wide telemetry — all from software running on a tablet or ground station. 
Technically, that’s already possible with the current state of drone controllers. But practically, most teams run into a bunch of issues: fragmented hardware, mismatched autopilot firmware, and vendor-locked interfaces. The result is a paradox: software-driven missions are rising in complexity, but the foundation drone apps rely on remains brittle.
