How can you use market validation to gain a competitive edge?
In my work we build MVPs frequently to validate the market, however it can get costly even if we start small. Sometimes it is better to ask customer “what if”. The sampling should be of certain size. MVPs alone are often solutions looking for problem without validation. But if one is passionate enough that a solution has a lot of potential and there are supporters… I would still say go for it.

The ease to operate is also a major consideration of this aircraft. Being able to fly autonomously using GPS way points and having a user friendly GUI reduce the…

Being able to fly autonomously using GPS way points and having a user friendly GUI reduce the workload of the officers on duty, increase their situation awareness and also provides excellent information for command and control of the situation.
