Kontur: reproducible PX4 SITL testing with verifiable evidence

Kontur helps engineering teams test changes to autopilots, parameters, missions, and communication links before field testing.

It runs controlled scenarios, records injected faults, verifies observable effects, and collects a unified package of technical evidence.

Define the technical assumption that needs to be tested.

CAPABILITIES

Development testing capabilities

01

Controlled mission

Run a fixed PX4 SITL mission with offboard control and a protective termination procedure.

02

Link and GNSS faults

Reproduce degradation, loss, and recovery of communication links and GNSS in a controlled scenario.

03

Command and observable effect

Kontur records not only that a fault command was issued, but also independent confirmation of its observable effect.

04

Evidence package

Each run retains PX4 ULog, parameters, mission, fault-controller, and link-plane logs with SHA-256 integrity records.

05

Data quality

Kontur checks whether ULog data is suitable for later analysis of trajectory, vehicle state, and failsafe behavior.

PILOT FORMAT

What a pilot delivers

  1. one agreed technical risk;
  2. a reproducible SITL scenario;
  3. a package of raw logs;
  4. a technical review of the result and the next step.
LIMITATIONS

Kontur is intended for development testing in a SITL environment. It does not replace field testing, certification, or operational validation. An evidence package means that data was collected and can be reviewed; it is not an automatic claim of operational readiness.
