São Paulo, November 2024: BIRDS, a São Paulo-based supplier of turnkey autonomous UAS options, will use Excessive Lander’s Vega UTM resolution to handle airspaces as a part of Brazil’s BR-UTM mission.
Following acceptance into the mission by the Brazilian Division of Airspace Management (DECEA), BIRDS will carry out the demonstrations to reply the necessities set ahead by the authority because it investigates the implementation of unmanned visitors administration (UTM) expertise all through the nation.
“BIRDS is proud to obtain authorization from DECEA to take part on this groundbreaking mission, and to reveal the ability of Vega UTM in enabling total UAS ecosystems to flourish safely,” mentioned Léo Szterenzys, CEO of BIRDS. “BIRDS supplies the easiest in UAS administration software program, and we’re assured that Vega UTM will fulfill all regulatory, operational and technological necessities.”
The Brazilian drone ecosystem has proven constant and fast development since 2020, with drones seeing heavy use in agriculture, safety and deliveries. Brazil can also be one of many extra promising arenas for the burgeoning superior air mobility (AAM) sector. In consequence, Brazilian authorities have a urgent want for airspace administration expertise that may combine UAS and eVTOLs unto airspaces safely, and in September 2022, DECEA printed an ordinance (439/DNOR8) authorizing the Brazilian Air Drive’s nationwide UTM idea of operations (DFA 351-6).
BR-UTM is a central a part of this idea. Kicking off in September 2023, the mission is led by DECEA and the Institute of Airspace Management (ICEA) and goals to develop a UAS-friendly infrastructure by the use of public-private partnerships with expertise suppliers. Necessities embody UTM zone creation and restriction sharing, real-time airspace monitoring, integration between air visitors administration (ATM) and UTM techniques, and a regulatory infrastructure. BR-UTM will run implementation exams to seek out sensible options as to how these capabilities may be built-in into Brazilian airspaces.
BIRDS, which supplies UAS expertise packages to main shoppers all through Brazil, already makes use of Vega UTM to make sure its shoppers’ drone operations are secure and compliant with the delicate airspace rules of Brazil’s Nationwide Civil Aviation Authority (ANAC). Created by Excessive Lander, a world supplier of UAS fleet administration and uncrewed visitors administration software program options, Vega UTM is a strong platform that’s been extensively field-tested around the globe, so it’s a brief bounce to use it to the Brazilian nationwide airspace.
Alon Abelson, CEO and co-founder of Excessive Lander, commented: “Brazil is dwelling to one among world’s fastest-growing drone ecosystems, and we’re proud to see BIRDS current Vega UTM as a contender for the nation’s nationwide airspace administration resolution.
