London, UK & Lisbon, Portugal: Altitude Angel, a global leader in unified traffic management (UTM) and NexG CSA, part of the NexG Group, have chosen the second day of the Airspace World expo in Lisbon to announce a strategic commercial partnership which will revolutionise the way the sky is managed across Malaysia for a new generation of airspace users.

The combination of Altitude Angel’s GuardianUTM suite of technologies and NexG CSA’s ‘in-country’ expertise will enable the creation of competitive and innovative services aligned with the strategic goals of the Malaysian Drone Technology Action Plan 2022-2030 (MDTAP30), which will allow Malaysia to use and benefit from the array of use cases drone operations can bring.

The GuardianUTM platform will provide real-time situational awareness and data visibility, improving operational efficiency and safety across designated UAS airspace. Through live monitoring capabilities, key stakeholders will have direct insights into UAS activities, helping to maintain public safety while developing and growing the drone ecosystem as part of a new regulated environment for UAS operations.

As the partnership develops, new opportunities will be explored such as the introduction of Altitude Angel’s transformative ARROW technology to the Malaysian peninsula, which when fused with its GuardianUTM platform, detects and identifies all airspace users, enabling drones to fly BVLOS and share the airspace with crewed aviation safely and securely.

On the strategic partnership, Richard Parker, Altitude Angel, CEO and founder said: “Supporting the development of new airspace users across Malaysia and Southern Asia is one of our strategic priorities. This partnership with NexG CSA is a milestone in the development of Malaysia’s airspace, bringing together the technology, innovation, and local expertise which will provide the foundation for a new and exciting drone economy.”

On behalf of NexG CSA, its CEO Dato’ Syahril Abdullah, commented, “We are pleased to enter into this strategic partnership with Altitude Angel, a global leader in unified traffic management solutions. This collaboration represents a significant step forward in supporting the growth of drone-related services and capabilities, aligned with our broader national ambitions. By integrating advanced UTM technologies, we aim to enhance airspace safety, improve operational visibility, and support the safe and scalable integration of drone operations. As the partnership evolves, we look forward to exploring new opportunities that will further strengthen the ecosystem and unlock the full potential of drone technology in Malaysia.”

Netherlands favourite flight planning app to relaunch with enhanced user experience and industry-ready flight planning tool set

Geneva, Switzerland:  Netherlands ANSP LVNL and Altitude Angel, the world’s most trusted UTM (Unified Traffic Management) technology provider, have chosen the second day of Airspace World to announce the release of a new and improved version of the popular flight planning tool, GoDrone, bringing a host of new features which will give users an even greater understanding of the country’s airspace and access to it.

Designed and powered by Altitude Angel, GoDrone has established itself as the flight planning app for professional and recreational drone pilots across the Netherlands since its launch in April 2020.

“Planning is central to all commercial drone operations within a civil CTR, and any operator should start their flight plan with GoDrone, which is why we’re continuing to invest in the app,” said Wouter Pekela, Program Manager Unmanned Aviation, LVNL.

The new version of GoDrone, which begins rolling out in Q2 for both iOS and Android, is the most extensive update since the app was first launched and includes several enhancements and exciting new features.

The suite of updated features includes enhanced integrated flight planning, advanced flight plan drawing tools, and approval services – the ability to request access to fly digitally in airspace such as an airport CTR– through the app.

These updates make the app more user-friendly and intuitive for novice pilots, whilst providing several business-critical services for more experienced and professional operators.

In addition to enhanced integrated flight planning & drawing tools, GoDrone also includes new ‘pilot profiles’ and aircraft management, which provides users with the ability to log drone operator profiles, hours flown, and airframe hours used.  These features are particularly useful for professional drone operators who may be required to manage or evidence their operational experience and help in managing airframe service intervals and the like.

Other upgrades and new features also include:

  • New UXUI -Completely rebuilt modern user interface. 
  • New Accepted and Approved statuses, allowing GoDrone users to be able to receive more digital updates and information on their mission requests.
  • New Map Types including Satellite Maps to help you plan your drone flights safely and efficiently.
  • Advanced filter setup allows you to fully customise your airspace to suit your preferences, including political border and NOTAM’s. 
  • Airframe Hanger – Ability to now input and save all of drones directly in the GoDrone APP. 
  • GoDrone Operator Portal Integration – Information, edits and missions are natively linked between the GoDrone APP and Operator Portal.  
  • Ground Hazards – Understand ground hazards in greater details, The Godrone now displays a list of ground hazards in the pre-flight report, each is clickable, providing users with more detailed information.
  • New Area reports feature which gives you a simple-to-understand view of where you can fly safely, where you need to exercise caution or areas that are prohibited.
  • Enhanced Security (Biometrics) Utilise the latest security features on your phone or tablet, including eye and fingerprint access.
  • New flight plan tools- Maximise your flight planning by using advanced drawing tools, or upload files directly from your device
