New Delhi— Pierce Aerospace and Skye Air Mobility announced their partnership at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, NV. The partnership brings Pierce Aerospace’s Flight Portal ID UAS Technologies as an integrated Remote ID solution with Skye Air Mobility’s drone delivery platforms and Skye UTM (Skye Air’s proprietary UTM platform) starting in 2023.
Skye Air recently introduced its proprietary UTM platform. Skye UTM is a cloud-based UAS traffic management system that stitches unmanned air traffic with the manned aviation airspace. It has been built towards providing better navigation, risk assessment, connectivity, and traffic management to all drone operators.
Features of Skye UTM:
The Skye UTM captures more than 255+ parameters of drone movements and stores them into its ‘Blackbox’. A published systematic description of the entire flight. The platform offers the first 3-Dimensional view of the drone airspace along with operations and regulations mapping servers. It offers the latest airspace status, verified paths, and display real time UAV movements.
“We are very proud to partner with leading Remote ID service provider, Pierce Aerospace, said Ankit Kumar, CEO of Skye Air. The partnership will bring together a combined solution of UTM & RID to the Indian and the US market. We believe it’s the right time to introduce the solution to manage traffic and have real-time UAS tracking.”
“We’re working with the Skye Air team on concepts that will work in India’s rapidly growing drone market,” said Aaron Pierce, CEO of Pierce Aerospace. “Our infrastructure approach to Remote ID aids Skye Air’s growth and integrates their UTM with our Remote ID services”
Skye Air Mobility brings drone delivery to India’s healthcare, e-commerce, quick commerce and agri-commodity sectors.
The future inclusion of Flight Portal ID’s commercial Remote ID data feeds allows Skye Air to correlate and positively identify UAS in its proprietary Skye UTM system. At the same time, those data feeds can provide critical situational awareness to Indian government regulators and security organizations.
