Ethics & Governance Risk Briefs
Drone Ethics Advisory provides independent risk assessment briefs for organisations deploying AI-assisted drone systems in defence, security, and related operational contexts.
What We Deliver
Our core service is the production of written ethics and governance risk briefs. These briefs:
- Identify key ethical, governance, and public-risk considerations associated with specific drone capabilities and deployment contexts
- Outline indicative mitigation measures and safeguard options to support responsible decision-making
- Provide decision-ready documentation suitable for inclusion in governance packs, procurement processes, or oversight reviews
Scope & Approach
Services are provided on a fixed-scope basis. Each brief is tailored to the client’s specified system, use context, and deployment environment.
Briefs are framed as decision-support tools and do not constitute legal advice, technical certification, operational approval, or compliance assurance.
Typical Engagement
A standard engagement involves:
- Scope definition: System specification, intended use, and deployment context
- Risk assessment: Identification of relevant ethical and governance considerations
- Brief production: Written deliverable outlining risks and indicative mitigation options
- Delivery: Final brief provided for client use in governance and decision-making processes
Indicative timescale: 2-4 weeks from scope agreement to delivery, depending on complexity.
Who We Work With
We work with organisations in defence, security, and related sectors that require independent ethics and governance risk assessment to support responsible deployment decision-making.
