“ANRA Technologies Wins U‑Space Tender to Deliver Advanced UTM Solutions in Finland”

ANRA Tech­nolo­gies, a glob­al provider of uncrewed sys­tems traf­fic man­age­ment (UTM) and mis­sion man­age­ment solu­tions, announced this week it has suc­cess­ful­ly bid to deliv­er cut­ting-edge U‑space ser­vices for VVT Tech­ni­cal Research in Fin­land, reports a press release.

This award marks an impor­tant step for ANRA in expand­ing its foot­print with­in the Euro­pean drone ecosys­tem and fur­ther advanc­ing safe, inte­grat­ed drone oper­a­tions.

Under the agree­ment, ANRA is to imple­ment its next-gen­er­a­tion UTM plat­form called ‘ANRA Noon’. This plat­form enables secure, effi­cient and scal­able drone oper­a­tions across var­i­ous use cas­es includ­ing research, com­mer­cial and pub­lic safe­ty appli­ca­tions. 

The release explains, “ANRA will pro­vide manda­to­ry U‑space ser­vices for flight autho­ri­sa­tion, geo-aware­ness, net­work ID and traf­fic infor­ma­tion through­out Fin­land. Noon will empow­er VTT with real-time air­space intel­li­gence, flight plan­ning and reg­u­la­to­ry com­pli­ance tools, ensur­ing the seam­less inte­gra­tion of unmanned air­craft into Finnish air­space.”

VVT Tech­ni­cal Research Cen­tre

Amit Gan­joo, Founder and CEO of ANRA Tech­nolo­gies, com­ment­ed, “ANRA Noon is designed to accom­mo­date the unique require­ments of diverse drone oper­a­tions and we look for­ward to sup­port­ing VTT in its mis­sion to explore and imple­ment such future-focused solu­tions.”

VTT Tech­ni­cal Research Cen­tre of Fin­land is known for dri­ving inno­va­tions across numer­ous indus­tries includ­ing drones. This part­ner­ship aims to strength­en Finland’s posi­tion as a leader in safe, respon­si­ble and inno­v­a­tive drone deploy­ments. The project will also sup­port broad­er Euro­pean U‑space objec­tives, focus­ing on “har­monised air traf­fic man­age­ment for unmanned air­craft sys­tems.”

Dr. Petri Mononen, Research Team Leader for VTT Inno­v­a­tive Air Mobil­i­ty, remarked, ”Our col­lab­o­ra­tion rep­re­sents a vital step in our mis­sion of paving the way for the indus­try on its road to scal­able drone oper­a­tion busi­ness.”

ANRA is present­ly under­go­ing cer­ti­fi­ca­tion by the Euro­pean Union Avi­a­tion Safe­ty Agency (EASA) to become the first U‑space Ser­vice Provider (USSP). These ini­tia­tives to pro­mote col­lab­o­ra­tive learn­ing, ensure that ANRA Noon remains the lead­ing UTM ser­vice provider.

Back­ground

VTT Tech­ni­cal Research Cen­tre of Fin­land is one of Europe’s lead­ing research insti­tu­tions, focus­ing on devel­op­ing inno­v­a­tive tech­nolo­gies and ser­vices for a wide range of indus­tries. It is a state owned and con­trolled non-prof­it com­pa­ny, oper­at­ing under the own­er­ship steer­ing of the Finnish Min­istry of Employ­ment and the Econ­o­my. The Cen­tre col­lab­o­rates with part­ners to turn sci­en­tif­ic knowl­edge into viable solu­tions that ben­e­fit busi­ness­es, soci­ety and the envi­ron­ment.
