Skyway Collaborates with MatrixSpace “to Advance Integration of AI Air Traffic Management and Unmanned Aircraft Detection Systems”

Sky­way, a lead­ing Cal­i­for­nia-based ver­ti­port devel­op­ment and oper­a­tions com­pa­ny and Matrix­Space, an AI-enabled sens­ing plat­form, recent­ly announced a col­lab­o­ra­tion to advance the inte­gra­tion of intel­li­gent air traf­fic man­age­ment and unmanned air­craft detec­tion sys­tems, reports a press release.

“This col­lab­o­ra­tion aims to rede­fine safe­ty, effi­cien­cy, and scal­a­bil­i­ty in the rapid­ly evolv­ing Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty (AAM) and unmanned aer­i­al sys­tems (UAS) sec­tors, set­ting a new stan­dard for the aero­space nav­i­ga­tion indus­try,” explains the release.

By part­ner­ing with Matrix­Space, Sky­way is to expand its cur­rent upcom­ing deploy­ments by lever­ag­ing its partner’s radar’s advanced AI-enabled sens­ing tech­nol­o­gy to enhance sit­u­a­tion­al aware­ness. The radar sys­tems enable pre­cise detec­tion, clas­si­fi­ca­tion and visu­al­i­sa­tion of air­borne and ground-based objects in real-time, empow­er­ing Sky­way’s Com­mand Cen­tre to respond to crit­i­cal issues with greater speed and effi­cien­cy.

This capa­bil­i­ty also sup­ports Beyond Visu­al Line of Sight (BVLOS) oper­a­tions, pub­lic safe­ty and defence appli­ca­tions includ­ing enhance­ment for radar capa­bil­i­ties to improve drone detec­tion and mit­i­gate unmanned air­craft threats.

Clif­ford Cruz, CEO at Sky­way, com­ment­ed, “Our part­ner­ship is a game-chang­er for ver­ti­port oper­a­tions, bring­ing an advanced lev­el of detec­tion no-one else can pro­vide. Inte­grat­ing this intel­li­gent radar tech­nol­o­gy with our ver­ti­port infra­struc­ture will ensure safer, more reli­able and scal­able oper­a­tions for AAM.”

“As Urban Air Mobil­i­ty gains momen­tum, robust air traf­fic man­age­ment solu­tions are crit­i­cal,“ con­tin­ues the release. “MatrixSpace’s cut­ting-edge radar sys­tems — offer­ing fea­tures like object detec­tion, teleme­try cap­ture, and mesh net­work syn­chro­niza­tion — will empow­er Sky­way to man­age ver­ti­ports with unprece­dent­ed pre­ci­sion.” 

Lori DeMat­teis, Chief Rev­enue Offi­cer at Matrix­Space, remarked, “This part­ner­ship is piv­otal for accel­er­at­ing inno­va­tions in aero­space nav­i­ga­tion and ensur­ing seam­less inte­gra­tion across the AAM ecosys­tem. It will bring next gen­er­a­tion sens­ing tech­nol­o­gy to ver­ti­port oper­a­tions.”

The release con­cludes, “Real-time air traf­fic mon­i­tor­ing reduces the risk of col­li­sions and ensures com­pli­ance with reg­u­la­to­ry frame­works. Co-ordi­na­tion between ver­ti­ports and air­borne assets will opti­mise flight paths and sched­ules, mak­ing this col­lab­o­ra­tion a cor­ner­stone of the next phase of aero­space inno­va­tion.”
