Unifly, a group company of Terra Drone Corporation, and Skypuzzler ApS proudly announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), solidifying their strategic partnership and joint commitment to support the escalating use of drones across industries by empowering drones to operate beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS). Through innovative collaboration, they aim to transform UAS Traffic Management (UTM) and unlock Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) possibilities.

Building upon their successful collaboration within the Eureka Network Eurostars project CONDUCT, Unifly and Skypuzzler aim to enhance BVLOS drone operations and ensure collision avoidance in increasingly crowded skies, by combining Unifly’s cutting-edge UTM solution, known for redefining and digitizing traffic management, with Skypuzzler’s expertise in automated tactical drone deconfliction.

This integration minimizes the need for manual interpretation and intervention, ensuring smoother operations and reducing the risk of human error. By enabling drones to automatically adjust flight paths and resolve conflicts in real-time, this partnership not only enhances safety, operational efficiency, but also supports the escalating use of drones across industries, thereby unlocking possibilities for UAM and AAM.

By facilitating the seamless use of drones and reducing CO2 emissions, the collaboration contributes to mitigating the environmental impact of transportation and aligns with the European Commission’s drone strategy 2.0 and the European Green Deal, ensuring safer skies and a greener future for urban air mobility.

Andres Van Swalm, CEO and Co-Founder of Unifly, expressed his enthusiasm, stating,”In our mission to shape the future of autonomous aviation, Unifly is thrilled to partner with Skypuzzler to boost UTM and UAM/AAM safety. As pioneers in this industry, we are committed to making everyday autonomous aviation safer and more efficient. Together, we are reshaping the global drone industry, and I’m confident our collaboration will bring our vision to life.”

Jesper Skou, CEO and Co-Founder of Skypuzzler  “At Skypuzzler, we thrive on innovation and collaboration, and our partnership with Unifly is a testament to our commitment to shaping the future of autonomous aviation. By integrating our cutting-edge Digital Air Traffic Control solution with Unifly’s renowned UTM technology, we are  elevating the boundaries of safety in drone operations. Together, we’re not only transforming the drone- and UTM industry; we’re setting a new standard for what’s possible for the industry. Our collaboration is a beacon of progress, lighting the way toward a safer and more efficient future for autonomous aviation.”
