Salient Characteristics

Drone Operations Management System (DOMS) with ADS-B and cUAS Integration

Overview:

This Drone Operations Management System provides organizations with a unified platform to manage the entire lifecycle of Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) operations. The system integrates airspace safety, security, flight control, and traffic management functionalities into a single comprehensive application. Leveraging detection and communication infrastructures that can operate across jurisdictional boundaries, it streamlines management through centralized coordination of:

• Resource Allocation

• Crew & Asset Management

• Mission Planning & Approval

• In-flight Monitoring & Surveillance

• Post-flight Evaluation

By consolidating these capabilities, the system enhances operational efficiency, facilitates seamless communication between regulatory authorities and operators, and supports a smooth workflow that promotes safer and more effective drone operations. It integrates multiple data sources into a unified interface to provide real-time visualization of UAS airspace, supporting key objectives such as Airspace Security, UAS Operational Safety, and complete lifecycle management of UAS operations.

Salient Features:

• Supports authorization processes aligned with relevant civil aviation authority regulations (e.g., FAA, EASA) for multiple operational areas

• Provides crew and asset management functionalities

• Facilitates operational risk analysis for both air and ground environments

• Includes UAS Traffic Management (UTM) capabilities, such as strategic conflict detection and resolution

• Offers continuous air traffic and encroachment monitoring with alerting capabilities

• Integrates awareness tools compatible with various detection systems (e.g., passive RF, ADS-B, radar, optical sensors) to support airspace safety and aircraft separation procedures

• Provides a common operating picture for operations centers to enhance situational awareness

• Supports public engagement workflows for a range of operators including public, private, and commercial entities

• Enables integration of custom map layers using geospatial data from the United States Air Force and web map services (e.g., Esri or equivalent GIS platforms)

• Supports customizable authorization and approval workflows aligned with organizational policies and regulatory requirements

• Facilitate operation work request and management workflows

• Incorporates NOTAM and Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) data from relevant aviation authorities

• Supports publishing advisories and notifications to operators

• Provides real-time weather conditions and forecast integration to support mission planning

• Includes flight log management and aircraft telemetry data integration

• Features customizable dashboards and reporting tools for operational data analysis

• Capable of leveraging geospatial data repositories and standardized checklists to enhance operational planning and execution

• Supports integration with existing crewed and uncrewed air traffic detection infrastructures

• Enables connectivity with various UAS platforms for aircraft tracking and flight logging

• Designed and maintained in accordance with recognized security standards (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2)
