509 Indra is launching Air Drones, a set of solutions for managing air traffic for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) at local, regional and national territories.


The company says Air Drones is designed to ensure the safety of air operations for drones that fly in densely populated urban environments, rural areas and near airports, where security requirements are strict.

Indra’s new Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) system will organise all the traffic, identifying each aircraft and controlling its access and movements.

A UTM Hub solution will automate the provision of centralised coordination services for operators, information providers and authorities to coexist as air users.

According to Indra, each drone will be connected to this environment via a platform which offers access to flight planning support and geofence and telemetry services.
