A $150 billion conglomerate, Venture Wing partnered with us to launch a one-of-a-kind Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management (UTM) to navigate the complexities, ambiguity, and de-risk innovation without compromising on technical production quality or speed. This company is also one of the only 49 companies that have consistently held its position as a Fortune 500 organization since its inception.
The unmanned aviation industry faces numerous challenges, and every unmanned vehicle pilot must carefully consider the following concerns before each flight:
There was a pressing need for a comprehensive, single-source platform with safety and operational protocols and services built-in, providing full situational awareness of unmanned vehicles to its operators, especially for first responder and disaster management use cases. As Christopher Todd, Executive Director of the Airborne International Response Team (AIRT) points out:
"Emergency response remote pilots can’t afford to waste time toggling between multiple software applications when lives are on the line. They need a reliable, one-stop solution that can handle the mission at hand.”
We collaborated with the Fortune 500 company’s innovation accelerator and incubation wing to:

Our clients love what we do:
GV-inspired advanced design sprints to translate stakeholder vision into demo-able artifacts and align internally and ensure that the final product meets user needs and stakeholders’ vision.
Architect, iterate, test, implement feedback, and then launch beta in 2 months with fast and frequent releases of functionalities.
Pressure test and improve the platform with an event-driven + microservices architecture for security and scalability that could support telemetry from 1000s of drones simultaneously without compromising safety.
Adapt and expand functionality of the core solution for diverse use cases for first responders, EnergyTech, disaster management, etc. The platform could be used in various scenarios, making it a versatile tool for different industries and use cases.
The ultimate solution was a centralized platform equipped with practical operational tools and operational oversight, compliance and flight authorization processes. It also had the ability to provide airspace advisories, video streaming, and full Situational Awareness — eliminating the need for multiple applications and improving airspace visibility even beyond BVLoS.
Our partnership's goals were clear from Day 1 — to make a new, unmanned way of moving possible, for packages, medical delivery, inspections, and public safety. So, we infused next generation air traffic management technology with world-class aviation expertise and agile execution. The final version of the product was equipped with the following features, making it fit to be used by energytech companies for inspection, and public safety agencies for emergency response.
We delivered a highly secure, cloud-based platform that enabled users to plan, schedule and monitor all flights. Moreover, we equipped the platform with all the tools one may need to fly with complete confidence like full visibility for both Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) and Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS), and analytics like flight logs. The platform also offers geofence capabilities to enable first responders to block volumes of space as No-fly Zones (NFZ) for their operations and alert others subscribed to that space to prevent conflict.
The platform offered TP services for generating 3D volumes of space encompassing the flight route and predicting optimal flight path from the start and end point to enable safe travels.
For safe separation and avoidance of potential conflicts between drones and foreign objects in the airspace, we added the deconfliction functionality. The system would interact with the US air transportation network to collect and store all flight plans and minimize possibilities of potential collision. Moreover, we enabled the system to avoid colliding in unfamiliar terrains by incorporating UAS Facility Maps and FAA-ArcGIS.
The UTM platform also provides actionable intelligence and analytics data to help users better manage assets. With inspection insights, like flight logs, performance, fault tolerance, etc., users get a comprehensive picture of how assets (drones) are performing at any time.
We built the LAANC system at lightning fast speed in 3 months.The platform was well capable to plan and exchange information regarding low altitude flights near airports with the FAA. It would notify pilots in case a planned airspace is no longer available due to other operations. Ultimately, LAANC support facilitated smooth UAV operations near airports.
To enhance security of unmanned vehicles, we added conformance monitoring that involves near real-time monitoring of drone flights and ensure the drone operators’ compliance with FAA-LAANC regulations. In case of non-compliance, the system promptly sends alerts to the pilot and central ground station. All the stakeholders will be notified in the case of non-conformance via push notifications, and SMS to enable quick response. We successfully complied with ever-evolving FAA regulations for 3 consecutive years.
