If you are a delivery service dealing with the risk of drone collisions during autonomous flights — this project developed a digital ATC software that enables drones to avoid collisions. This allows for safer Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations and prevents costly emergency landings.
Automated Air Traffic Control Software for Safe Commercial Drone Operations
Imagine a digital air traffic controller that acts like a smart GPS for drones, automatically steering them away from each other in real-time. Instead of just landing in an emergency when a drone sees an obstacle, this system solves the 'puzzle' of the sky to keep flights moving. It's like adding an invisible safety bubble around every drone to prevent crashes without human help.
What needed solving
Current drone traffic systems cannot automatically prevent collisions during autonomous flights, often forcing emergency landings or flight cancellations. This creates safety risks for citizens and limits the economic growth of the drone industry.
What was built
A Digital Air Traffic Control (ATC) software featuring a mathematical algorithm for automated tactical drone deconfliction.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are a farming operator dealing with inefficient airspace management for crop monitoring — this project developed a tactical deconfliction service that integrates into UTM systems. This ensures business continuity by reducing operation delays and increasing safety for citizens.
If you are a surveillance provider dealing with hazardous near-misses between drones and manned aircraft — this project developed a white-label ATC product that prevents collisions. This technology helps scale the number of drones in the air by up to 97%.
Quick answers
What is the pricing or cost model for this software?
Based on available project data, the specific cost or price per license is not mentioned, though it is offered as a white-label product for UTM systems.
How does this scale the drone market?
The Digital ATC is projected to increase the number of drones in circulation by 97% by providing efficient air traffic control.
How is the intellectual property licensed?
Based on available project data, the software is designed as a white-label product, allowing other UTM providers to integrate the technology into their own systems.
Does this help with aviation regulations?
Yes, it specifically addresses the safety requirements for autonomous and Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flights to prevent collisions.
When will the solution be fully deployed?
The project period runs from 2024-09-01 to 2026-08-31, suggesting a development and integration timeline through August 2026.
How does it integrate with existing systems?
The software integrates seamlessly into existing Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) systems as a white-label component.
Who built it
The project is led by a single SME, SKYPUZZLER APS from Denmark. With a 100% industry ratio and no university or research partners, the project is purely commercially driven, focusing on rapid market entry and revenue growth rather than academic research.
