Drone Planner Dataset — v1 (March 2026)

Training and evaluation data for the LlamaFarm drone mission planner. Used to fine-tune Qwen3-4B to 89.3% T1 accuracy on the regression suite.

Dataset Stats

Split	Examples	Purpose
train.jsonl	4,241	Fine-tuning
eval.jsonl	431	Validation during training
regression.jsonl	196	Fixed regression suite for scoring

Format

Each example is a chat-format JSON with system/user/assistant messages:

{
  "messages": [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a drone mission planner..."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "OBSERVATION: Scanning waypoint 8 of 15. Battery 74%."},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "{\"reasoning\": \"...\", \"next_actions\": [...], ...}"}
  ]
}

The assistant output is always a valid JSON object with 4 fields:

• reasoning — 1-2 sentence situation analysis
• next_actions — list of canonical action strings
• memory_update — string for context retention
• mission_status — one of: Continuing, Completed, Aborted, Paused, RTB, Emergency

Evaluation Methodology

T0: JSON schema validation — output must be valid JSON with correct types, required fields, and valid enum values. Threshold: 100% required.

T1 (json_semantic):

• mission_status — exact string match (enum)
• All other fields — semantic equivalence judged by Claude

Data Quality

This dataset underwent extensive manual curation:

• All training examples validated against regression ground truth (0 contradictions)
• Action vocabulary standardized across all examples
• Grounding rules enforced: model only references facts present in the input
• Scan/waypoint disambiguation: "Continue scan" only when no explicit waypoint number; "Continue to next waypoint" only when "waypoint X of Y" appears in input
• Wind/battery safety thresholds verified against all 196 regression cases
• Duplicate examples removed

Key Decision Rules Encoded

Situation	Expected output
Battery <20%	mission_status: Emergency, Emergency land
Battery 20-30%	mission_status: RTB, Return to home
Wind >35mph alone	mission_status: RTB
Wind 33-35mph	mission_status: RTB
Wind ~34mph	mission_status: Paused, Hold position
Wind ≤20mph	mission_status: Continuing
Signal 17% + battery 96%	mission_status: Continuing (signal alone not RTB)
Signal 10% + battery 27%	mission_status: RTB, Begin RTB + Reduce distance
Law enforcement	mission_status: Aborted
FAA/TFR/NOTAM	mission_status: Aborted
Property boundary noted, not crossed	mission_status: Continuing
Property boundary crossed	mission_status: RTB
Input has "waypoint X of Y"	Continue to next waypoint, Scanning wp X/Y memory
Generic scan (no waypoint number)	Continue scan, Scanning scan in progress memory
