Methodology

How we turn runway operations into a working deployment

This section mirrors the process storytelling style of the reference design with a Kunnas-specific operational journey.

Start Launch
01

Discovery

Runway brief

We assess runway usage, friction concerns, maintenance frequency, and operational downtime pain points.

1-2 Days Step 1/6
02

Strategy

Pilot roadmap

A deployment roadmap is prepared around coverage targets, safety workflow, and expected measurable outcomes.

2-3 Days Step 2/6
03

Design

Operations workflow

The runway maintenance workflow is mapped across perception, routing, and cleaning execution.

1 Week Step 3/6
04

Deployment

Working pilot

The Kunnas stack is configured on-site to deliver an autonomous cleaning pilot or operational proof point.

2-6 Weeks Step 4/6
05

Validation

Performance review

Coverage, downtime reduction, and safety impact are reviewed against baseline operations.

1 Week Step 5/6
06

Scale & Support

Long-term operation

We extend the service into repeatable airport maintenance with roadmap support for future expansion.
