UAS- — what it is and how to use it
UAS- combines a component catalog, build planning tools and research signals for builders and operators. Inspect recorded flags, source dates and forecast assumptions before configuration-specific review. Optional model-generated reports require a supported provider key or authorized connection.
Everything is free. The full intelligence layer — Claude-powered Wingman, gray zone scoring, supply chain predictions, waiver templates, grant narratives, and the public safety intel layer — is open to everyone, no subscription required.

Generating compliance reports
Reports collect recorded procurement flags, gray-zone evidence, supply-chain signals and forecasts for review. A generated PDF is a research draft; verify its sources, dates and exact configuration before using it in a procurement submission.
PIE Intelligence and Gray Zone Scoring
Research flags can appear in part details. Open a part in /browse/ to inspect matching PIE flags. Results depend on the loaded dataset, coverage and matching filters; no match is not evidence that a part is risk-free. Check dataset dates and source records before using a flag.
Go to /patterns/ for the full intelligence layer. Three tabs: Components (supply chain risk per part), Predictions (30/60/90-day forecasts), What-If (scenario modeling).
Prediction cards expose scoring inputs and source records where available. A displayed probability or confidence value is a model estimate; it is not demonstrated forecast accuracy. Tap a card to inspect its stated method and limitations.
How Wingman works
Wingman retrieves context from the loaded component, platform, Handbook and firmware indexes. Model-generated answers require your own supported provider API key or an authorized proxy connection. Web search depends on the provider and connection; it is not performed on every query. Check the response’s search indicator and cited sources.
Using the Gap Analyzer
In Wingman AI, scroll down to the Gap Analyzer panel. Enter any two entities and hit Run — Claude pulls context from the Forge database and produces up to 8 gaps across spec, compliance, and supply chain.
Good examples: Skydio X10D vs DJI Matrice 350 · Silvus SC3822 vs TrellisWare TW-950 · STM32H743 vs STM32H750
What is a "gray zone" drone?
A gray zone product is one that appears domestic or independent but has material ties to adversary entities — undisclosed DJI technology, Chinese manufacturing, or data pipelines that route through Chinese cloud infrastructure.
Common signals: DJI SDK embedded · Firmware signed with DJI crypto keys · App connects to DJI cloud · PCB layout matches DJI products · Zero corporate transparency · "American-owned" claims with no substance.
Legal exposure: NDAA §848 prohibits procurement of covered entity products with federal funds. State and local agencies using federal grants (SOAR, DHS) are included. The Texas AG lawsuit against a gray zone vendor (Feb 2026) is the first signal that buyer liability is real, not just seller liability.
