The Vision Behind Thales’ Topsky
Thales’ Topsky is a revolutionary unmanned aerial system (UAS) designed to transform the way we manage traffic, ensure compliance, and integrate unmanned aircraft into our skies.
The Future of Air Traffic Management: AstraUTM and Thales Partnership
The aviation industry is on the cusp of a revolution, driven by the integration of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and advanced technologies. At the forefront of this transformation is the partnership between AstraUTM and Thales, a leading provider of digital platforms for air traffic management. This collaboration aims to create a safe and scalable digital platform for automated Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) and future Advanced Airspace Mobility (AAM) systems.
The Challenges of Air Traffic Management
Air traffic management is a complex and critical function, requiring real-time monitoring and control of aircraft movements. The increasing number of UAS and AAM systems in the skies poses significant challenges to traditional air traffic management systems.
The Future of Airspace Management in Norway
Norway’s airspace management system is set to undergo a significant transformation with the introduction of a new, cutting-edge system. This system will revolutionize the way airspace is managed, enabling advanced real-time data sharing and streamlined access to airspace for all operators, both manned and unmanned.
Key Features of the New System
The new system will deliver several key benefits, including:
Benefits for Operators
The new system will have a significant impact on operators in Norway, enabling them to:
The Vision Behind the Partnership
The partnership between Thales and Avinor marks a significant milestone in the development of Norway’s Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) system. The goal of this system is to provide Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) services in non-segregated airspaces, enabling the safe and efficient operation of drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This vision is rooted in the need for a more efficient and sustainable transportation system, as well as the growing demand for drone-based services.
