Skye UTM is designed to meet the needs of UAS operations, with a platform that can track more than 255 parameters of UAS movements and store them into its ‘Blackbox’. This technical description of the entire flight is accompanied by a 3-Dimensional view of the UAS airspace, as well as servers that display real-time UAS movements, airspace status, and verified paths. Skye UTM also provides real-time, low-latency infrastructure that allows for the prediction of a UAS’s flight path for the next 50 seconds, ensuring the safe and secure navigation of the airspace.
Skye UTM boasts of being the only UAS traffic management platform in India that is designed to offer drone operators reliable navigation, risk evaluation, connectivity, and traffic management. To date, Skye UTM has supported more than 300 BVLOS drone flights.
