arXiv:2610.19566v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous drones are increasingly deployed in safety-critical tasks, yet their autopilot software can still contain subtle logic flaws that lead to unsafe behaviors. These flaws are difficult to discover with existing techniques because they often depend on semantic relationships across modules, commands, and runtime state, and rarely manifest as crashes or detectable failures.
