SkeyDrone is integrating real-time traffic data from SafeSky into its Traffic Information Service (TIS) and will be providing SafeSky with uncrewed aircraft data in return. Used by drone pilots operating beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), SkeyDrone’s TIS offers situational awareness of both crewed and uncrewed traffic.
SafeSky, a specialist in anti-collision technology, offers an app used by over 85,000 pilots across Europe who share real-time in-flight traffic data either through the SafeSky mobile app or via one of the 30 integrated hardware and software solutions. SafeSky pilots transmit their position to others within the SafeSky network by using the GPS chip in their smartphones.
Many SafeSky pilots fly without a (ADS-B or other) transponder, making their aircraft invisible to traditional surveillance systems. By integrating SafeSky data, SkeyDrone’s TIS gains access to additional flight information, improving its traffic picture for lower flying aircraft. This ensures that drone operators are fully equipped to fly BVLOS.
In return, SafeSky is receiving cooperative and non-cooperative uncrewed traffic data from SkeyDrone for flights above 500 feet. This integration enables SafeSky pilots to receive drone activity alerts, enhancing safety for all airspace participants.
