Supporting Current and Future Drone Operations
Thales, a prominent figure in the aviation industry, is revolutionizing the unmanned aviation and urban air mobility (UAM) sectors with its innovative Thales TopSky-ATC solutions. From flight avionics and UAV system design to wireless communications systems, digital identity, cybersecurity, and positioning and navigation, Thales is reshaping the possibilities within the UAS industry. Its expertise, reflected in three-quarters of commercial aircraft benefiting from their Air Traffic Management solutions, extends to unified Airspace Traffic Management, encompassing small drones, long-range drones, and VTOL passenger aircraft routing through restricted airspace.
Ensuring Safe and Compliant Operations
Thales provides a comprehensive range of technical solutions for drone manufacturers and operators to support the increasingly complex drone operations at scale, prioritizing safety and compliance with regulations. By addressing national and international regulations, Thales products facilitate risk assessment methodologies for various commercial drone applications, including surveillance and delivery operations. The aim is to alleviate the challenges related to regulatory compliance, avionics security, long-range datalinks, and operational planning, thus enhancing scalability.
Delivering End-to-End Solutions for Long-Range Missions
Thales' ScaleFlyt product line caters to the evolving needs of drone operators, focusing on challenges faced in the present and the future. By integrating a suite of products and services, Thales supports complex drone operations with a strong emphasis on safety across operations like Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) and Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS). The company's expertise in enterprise UAS operations streamlines processes, offering a digital services platform that simplifies product integration and management, thus reducing administrative burdens for operators.
Advancing Airspace Management
With airspace becoming increasingly congested with the rise of UAV traffic, Thales introduces the TopSky UAS solution to seamlessly integrate UAVs into airspace, ensuring safe and efficient operations for all users. The cloud-based platform facilitates collaboration with ATC systems, providing services that enhance coordination and decision-making. Thales stands out as an FAA-approved UAS service supplier, emphasizing its commitment to enhancing UAS traffic management in the U.S. Through agreements with states like North Dakota and organizations like the French DSNA, Thales solidifies its position in maintaining safe and secured airspace.
