Next-Generation Drones: Protecting Performance with Industrial CT

Edited by
Date
March 20, 2026

As drones become mission-critical systems, the failure modes that matter most are the ones you cannot see. High-energy batteries, dense avionics, lightweight composite structures, and precision rotating systems all have to perform under vibration, thermal cycling, and real-world load. Traditional quality checks work on surfaces. The failures that ground platforms and disrupt programs originate inside.

This webinar covers what industrial CT scanning reveals across the drone build and how teams apply it to reduce escapes and accelerate development. You will see CT data applied to battery integrity, solder quality in enclosed avionics, cable routing and connector seating, motor and rotating system alignment, internal blade damage, and delamination in composite structures. You will also see how CT supports precise measurement, clear defect documentation, and faster collaboration across engineering, quality, manufacturing, and suppliers.

We will cover how to quantify the business impact of a CT inspection program, including how it shortens failure analysis loops, reduces scrap and rework, strengthens supplier qualification, and prevents small internal defects from becoming field failures or schedule-disrupting escapes.

What you will learn:

  • What CT scanning reveals inside complex drone assemblies that surface inspection and destructive testing miss
  • How to apply CT across batteries, avionics, composites, and rotating systems
  • How CT data improves collaboration across engineering, quality, and supply chain teams
  • How to measure the cost impact of bringing CT inspection in-house
