Thales and geospatial information management company Airspace Link will provide safe integration of UAS, commonly known as drones, into low altitude airspace where the systems are Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) of operators. With aviation, community and topographical data for the most accurate situational awareness, UAS operators can quickly and easily file for and receive flight plan authorization.

We envision a future where manned and unmanned aviation operate together seamlessly, said Jean Ferr , Vice President, Airspace Mobility Solutions, Thales. Thales' investment and partnership with Airspace Link is an important step toward this reality.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) forecasts that by 2024, commercial UAS operations will grow 60% - from approximately 500,000 to more than 800,000. Globally, analysts project UAS market to reach 2.91 million systems by 2023. To support the air traffic management challenge of commercial UAS operations, a strong combination of expertise is required. Thales has deep aviation systems integration experience and market knowledge, with 400 airspace management deployments around the world. Airspace Link, led by veterans of geospatial technologies with over 60 years' of experience, has extensive geospatial information management expertise.

Thales and Airspace Link have successfully collaborated on projects across the United States, including the development of Vantis, North Dakotas state-wide UAS network, the first in the nation. Formalizing this partnership will broaden Thales' robust air traffic management system portfolio and further expand its global market footprint. As an FAA approved UAS service supplier of the Low Altitude Authorization & Notification Capability (LAANC), Thales is supporting UAS traffic management across the U.S. in areas such as New York state. Further, internationally, Thales is providing UAS traffic management for organizations such as the French air traffic management organization, Direction des Services de la Navigation A rienne.
