Aloft Technologies, Inc., a leader in drone technology solutions, today announced a groundbreaking integration with Skydio, the leading U.S. drone manufacturer and world leader in autonomous flight technology, to integrate Live UTM (Uncrewed Traffic Management) Telemetry. This integration is set to transform how drone operations are managed in the National Airspace System, enhancing safety and operational efficiency for increasingly complex and advanced operations.
Live telemetry for all Skydio aircraft is live and available today for all Aloft enterprise, government, and public safety customers.
Live UTM Telemetry will provide real-time data directly to drone operators and airspace managers, facilitating more informed decision-making and significantly reducing the risk of airspace conflicts. This initiative represents a major step forward in the collaborative efforts to integrate drones safely into the national airspace system.
Jon Hegranes, CEO and Founder of Aloft, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “We are thrilled to integrate with Skydio to bring Live UTM Telemetry to the forefront of our patented Dynamic Airspace technologies. This innovation is not just about enhancing operational capabilities—it’s about setting new standards for safety and scale in drone operations. By integrating real-time telemetry data, we are empowering pilots and regulators with the tools they need to manage and utilize our skies more effectively.”
The collaboration between Aloft and Skydio marks a significant milestone in the drone industry, paving the way for advanced UTM solutions to support thousands of drones flying simultaneously in our skies. The technology is expected to benefit a wide range of industries, from emergency services and disaster response to infrastructure inspection and delivery services. This UTM integration builds on the existing automated flight log integration between Skydio and the Aloft Air Control platform.
