Drone/UAV Flight Log & Maintenance Tracker

Know which aircraft are ready to fly, and why the others are not

Overview

What you are buying

The Drone/UAV Flight Log & Maintenance Tracker keeps one record for every unmanned aircraft in your fleet: flight hours, battery cycles, components, inspections and open maintenance. It counts each aircraft and battery toward the intervals your maintenance program sets and shows what is coming due before it is overdue. Grounding and return to service stay with qualified people, and every log entry, sign-off and release is kept for inspectors and auditors.

The problem it solves

Many unmanned aircraft units still log flights on paper, in a ground control station's export or in a shared spreadsheet, and track maintenance somewhere else. Battery cycles are counted by hand, components move between airframes without the history following them, and nobody has a single view of which aircraft are mission capable today. When an aircraft fails or an inspector asks for its history, the record has to be rebuilt from several sources.

  • Flight hours and battery cycles are recorded in different places, or not at all
  • Maintenance intervals are tracked in spreadsheets that fall behind actual use
  • Components and batteries move between airframes without their history
  • Readiness and maintenance history are hard to show to commanders and inspectors

Who uses it

  • Unmanned aircraft units in the armed services and defense agencies
  • UAS maintainers and maintenance supervisors
  • Operations officers and commanders who need a current readiness picture
  • Fleet and program managers who plan spares, batteries and replacements
  • Safety officers, inspectors and auditors who review aircraft histories

Workflows

The principal workflows

  1. Log

    Each flight is recorded against the aircraft, the batteries and the operator, either entered after landing or imported from the ground control station's flight log.

    • Operator selects the aircraft, batteries and payload for the sortie
    • Pre-flight checklist completed and signed in the tracker
    • Flight times, landings and battery use entered or imported after landing
    • Discrepancies noted by the operator create a maintenance write-up
    • Hours and cycles added to the aircraft, battery and component totals
  2. Track

    Every aircraft, battery and serialized component carries its own counters, and the tracker compares them with the intervals in your maintenance program.

    • Intervals set by hours, cycles, calendar time or number of flights
    • Counters updated from each closed flight log
    • Items approaching an interval shown on the due list
    • Batteries flagged when cycles or recorded health reach your retirement criteria
    • Overdue items shown as a hold on the aircraft's readiness status
  3. Maintain

    Write-ups and scheduled tasks become work orders. Maintainers record the work and parts, and a qualified inspector checks it before the aircraft is released.

    • Work order opened from a write-up or a scheduled task
    • Maintainer records the work done, parts used and serial numbers swapped
    • Component history follows the part to its new airframe
    • Inspector reviews and signs off the work
    • Authorized person returns the aircraft to service
  4. Report

    Readiness, utilization and maintenance history are available to commanders, program managers and inspectors from the same records the maintainers use.

    • Readiness board shows each aircraft as ready, limited or down, with the reason
    • Utilization and maintenance trends reviewed by fleet and unit
    • Aircraft history exported for inspections and mishap reviews
    • Spares and battery replacement needs projected from current use

How access is controlled

  • Separation is built in: nobody signs off maintenance they performed, and an aircraft cannot be returned to service while an inspection or overdue item is open.
  • Roles are configured with you during implementation. You can rename them to match your service's terms, create custom roles, and limit them by unit, detachment or fleet.
  • Every permission change is recorded in the audit trail with who made it and when, and access review reports list each person's roles for periodic certification.
  • Staff sign in through your identity provider, including CAC or PIV where your provider supports it, and roles can follow its groups. Inspectors general and investigators get temporary read-only access with a scope and an end date.

Features

What it does

Flight logbook

One log per sortie with the aircraft, operator, batteries, payload, times, landings and remarks, signed by the operator.

Ground control station import

Flight log files exported from supported ground control stations are imported and matched to the sortie, so times are not typed twice.

Battery cycle tracking

Each battery is serialized, with its cycles, recorded health checks and the aircraft it flew on, and is flagged when it reaches your retirement criteria.

Maintenance intervals

Inspections and component replacements scheduled by flight hours, cycles, calendar time or flights, following your maintenance program.

Component history

Motors, propellers, payloads and other serialized parts keep their hours and history when they move between airframes.

Readiness board

Each aircraft shown as ready, limited or down, with the open write-up, overdue item or missing part behind its status.

Work orders and sign-off

Write-ups become work orders with tasks, parts and labor, and a separate inspector signs off before return to service.

Operator currency

Each operator's recent flights and recorded qualifications shown against the currency requirements your unit sets.

Configuration and modification records

Software and firmware versions, approved modifications and payload configurations recorded for each aircraft.

Grounding and fleet holds

Ground a single aircraft or every aircraft with a given component or battery lot, and track which have been inspected and released.

Offline field use

Flight logs and work orders can be recorded on a device without a connection and synchronized when one is available, with conflicts shown for review.

Inspection-ready audit trail

Who logged, changed, signed or released what and when, for every aircraft, kept for inspectors and mishap investigations.

Exports, access and evidence

  • Every report can be exported to CSV, and summary and history reports to PDF. Reports can be scheduled to arrive by email for the people entitled to see them.
  • Filters can be saved, so an operations officer or fleet manager can keep their own views of the fleet.
  • Fleet, flight and maintenance data is available through the Moraph Work API for your data platform or business intelligence tools.
  • Reports respect each viewer's role and unit: an operator sees their own flights, a fleet manager sees every unit they manage, and auditors see only the scope they were granted.
  • History and audit reports can be run as of a past date and give the same result each time. Running and exporting a report is itself recorded in the audit trail.

Deployment

Where and how it runs

Moraph cloud, United States

Hosted and operated by Moraph in the United States region for unclassified data, with controls mapped to support your own authorization.

Dedicated environment

A single-tenant environment for organizations whose policies require isolation, scoped in the proposal.

Your environment

Installed in an environment you operate, including disconnected networks, where your authorizing official approves it and it runs under your authority.

With a managed service

Optionally run alongside a Moraph managed service for administration and integration support, delivered by US citizens with active clearances.

Security controls, independent audits and data residency are set out in our Trust Center. Engagement models and what drives a quotation are on Working with Moraph.

Implementation

What a rollout involves

The general phases are on Working with Moraph. For this product, they involve the following.

Fleet record setup

Aircraft, batteries and serialized components are loaded from your existing records, with current hours and cycles agreed with your maintainers.

Maintenance program

Your inspection intervals, task lists and battery retirement criteria are configured from your maintenance program and the manufacturer's data you hold, and approved by your airworthiness lead.

Flight log import

We confirm which ground control station log formats you use and test imports with sample files from your aircraft.

Workflow and roles

Checklists, write-up categories, sign-off steps, return-to-service authority and roles are configured to match your procedures.

Field devices

Devices for flight line and field use are registered, and offline synchronization tested in the conditions your units work in.

Training and go-live

Operators, maintainers, inspectors and officers are trained on their own tasks, and open work orders are moved across or finished in the old system by agreement.

Limitations

What it does not do

Worth knowing before you evaluate it.

  • The tracker does not make airworthiness decisions. Grounding, inspection sign-off and return to service are made by qualified people at your organization.
  • It does not replace the manufacturer's maintenance data or your service's maintenance program; it applies the intervals and tasks you configure from them.
  • Counters are only as accurate as the flights and maintenance recorded. Flights that are not logged or imported are not counted.
  • It does not control or connect to aircraft in flight, and is not a flight planning, airspace authorization or mission planning system.
  • Ground control station imports depend on the formats your equipment exports; formats are confirmed during implementation.
  • It is designed for unclassified records. Use on classified networks is possible only in an environment you operate and authorize.
  • It is not your service's official maintenance information system of record unless your service approves it as one; where an official system is required, records are exported to it.
  • Moraph does not hold a DoD authorization for the tracker; your authorizing official decides whether and where it may be used.

Evaluation checklist

What to test in a demonstration or pilot

Questions worth putting to us, and to any other vendor you are considering.

  1. Load a sample of your fleet and compare the tracker's due list with your current records
  2. Import ground control station logs from your own aircraft and check the matched times
  3. Follow a write-up from flight log to inspected repair and return to service
  4. Move a component between airframes and confirm its history follows it
  5. Test offline logging in the conditions your units work in
  6. Confirm separation of duties: who can sign off maintenance and who can release an aircraft

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Who owns the fleet data?

Your organization does. How it is returned to you and deleted at the end of the agreement is set out in the contract.

Can we use our own maintenance program?

Yes. Intervals, task lists and retirement criteria are configured from your maintenance program and approved by your airworthiness lead; the tracker applies them and does not set them.

Does it work on the flight line without a connection?

Flight logs and work orders can be recorded offline on registered devices and synchronized later, with any conflicting entries shown for review.

Can it run on a classified network?

The hosted service is for unclassified data. It can be installed in an environment you operate, including a classified one, where your authorizing official approves it; operation there is under your authority.

How is it priced?

As a subscription, usually measured by the number of aircraft tracked, with implementation charged separately. See Working with Moraph for what drives a quotation.

Is there an accessibility conformance report?

Ask for one through the procurement request form at /how-to-buy/request, naming the version you are evaluating.
