Sphere Drones has received a significant regulatory authorization from Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). The company is now approved under the Broad Area Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) Self-Assessment framework, enabling it to independently assess and approve airspace for long-range drone missions.
This approval allows Sphere Drones to utilize its proprietary HubX and HubT remote operations system to safely conduct BVLOS operations. The system streams live command and telemetry data from the field directly to a central Remote Operations Centre (ROC), ensuring continuous oversight and control.
To accelerate adoption for clients, the company offers a streamlined service package called Sidero Local, designed to deploy a fully operational BVLOS system on-site within one week. For organizations navigating the regulatory process, Sphere Drones has also published a practical Broad Area BVLOS CASA Trial Guide, sharing its operational experience and key risk management lessons.
Beyond infrastructure and guidance, the company’s Flight Operations team provides end-to-end mission support. This comprehensive service covers mission planning, on-site deployment, aerial data capture, and post-flight data processing and delivery, offering a complete BVLOS solution for commercial and industrial applications.
