UTM company Aloft Technologies today announced its integration with Skydio, a US drone manufacturer and specialist in autonomous flight technology, to integrate Live UTM (Uncrewed Traffic Management) Telemetry.
“This integration is set to transform how drone operations are managed in the National Airspace System, enhancing safety and operational efficiency for increasingly complex and advanced operations,” according to a press statement. “Live UTM Telemetry will provide real-time data directly to drone operators and airspace managers, facilitating more informed decision-making and significantly reducing the risk of airspace conflicts. This initiative represents a major step forward in the collaborative efforts to integrate drones safely into the national airspace system.
Jon Hegranes, CEO and Founder of Aloft, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “We are thrilled to integrate with Skydio to bring Live UTM Telemetry to the forefront of our patented Dynamic Airspace technologies. This innovation is not just about enhancing operational capabilities—it’s about setting new standards for safety and scale in drone operations. By integrating real-time telemetry data, we are empowering pilots and regulators with the tools they need to manage and utilize our skies more effectively.”
The collaboration paves the way for advanced UTM solutions to support thousands of drones flying simultaneously and is expected to benefit a wide range of industries, from emergency services and disaster response to infrastructure inspection and delivery services, according to Aloft. This UTM integration builds on the existing automated flight log integration between Skydio and the Aloft Air Control platform.
