Join us this week on The Dawn of Autonomy as we close out our “AI and Data” month, sponsored by VICTUS Technologies, with an Industry Innovators conversation featuring Charlton Evans, CEO of End State Solutions, and aerospace autonomy executive and industry leader Dr. Yemaya Bordain, Board Executive and VP of Technology at the Advanced Air Mobility Institute. Together, they unpack how AI enabled data and disciplined operational frameworks turn autonomy from a concept into a scalable, real world capability.
End State Solutions, led by Charlton, operates at the intersection of advanced autonomy, airspace integration, and real world execution, helping manufacturers and operators translate AI driven insights, safety data, and operational intelligence into repeatable, regulator ready large UAS and BVLOS operations in demanding environments. Dr. Bordain brings a complementary vantage point from her role at the Advanced Air Mobility Institute, where she focuses on responsible adoption of aviation AI and autonomy, connects industry, regulators, and researchers, and helps shape frameworks that support safe, scalable deployment of advanced air mobility systems.
In this episode, Charlton and Yemaya explain why data quality, operational rigor, and regulatory fluency are inseparable in modern autonomy, how AI supports decision making without replacing accountability, and what it takes to build BVLOS programs that scale because the data, the systems, and the people are aligned.
