Letting drones fly everywhere and safely
The VITO spin-off has launched the very first management platform in the market that will integrate commercial drones (RPAS – Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems) safely into the airspace. All commercial drone users will have to register and will then see where they are allowed to fly and which regulations apply.
Via this platform, air traffic control services and government institutions can control and monitor all commercial drone flights. The platform will also allow drone companies to use the airspace in a controlled manner. Moreover, by simplifying the administrative procedures, these drone companies can automatically register all the necessary information and send it to the relevant authorities. A tool that will save time and money.
VITO has extensive knowledge and expertise in remote sensing and related applications. Drones are being used more and more in this respect. For example for checking high voltage power lines. A safe integration of these drones is essential in this respect and we are convinced that this platform offers the perfect solution for this
