The companies uAvionix and OneSky have announced a strategic partnership designed to enable the safe scaling of Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations. This collaboration directly integrates uAvionix’s certified FlightLine™ aircraft surveillance data into OneSky’s enterprise Uncrewed Traffic Management (UTM) platform, creating a unified system for real-time airspace deconfliction.
The partnership leverages uAvionix’s nationwide FlightStation™ ground network, which delivers validated, low-latency tracking data for cooperative crewed aircraft down to very low altitudes. By feeding this critical information via API into the OneSky UTM system, the solution provides drone operators with a reliable, real-time picture of manned aviation traffic. This capability is fundamental for obtaining regulatory approvals and safely executing BVLOS missions.
The integrated offering delivers several key advantages for scaling advanced drone use. It ensures enhanced safety through low-latency detection of potential conflicts with low-flying crewed aircraft. Furthermore, its API-based, plug-and-play architecture allows for rapid deployment and scalability, supporting operations ranging from single missions to the management of entire national fleets.
By combining uAvionix’s established surveillance infrastructure with OneSky’s sophisticated UTM software, this partnership addresses a major infrastructure requirement for the industry. It provides a critical, ready-made solution that reduces operational complexity and accelerates the path toward routine, large-scale commercial BVLOS drone operations.
