As a major global actor in the aviation community, Thales is bringing to the drone ecosystem its unique combination of domain expertise to transform the future of uncrewed aviation and Urban Air Mobility (UAM).
From flight avionics to UAV system design & operations, wireless communications systems, digital identity and cybersecurity, positioning and navigation enabling satellite systems, Thales is redefining what is possible in this UAS sector.
With three out of every four commercial aircraft taking off and landing with our Air Traffic Management solutions, we are also leading the way in unified Airspace Traffic Management integrating small drones, long-range drones and VTOL passenger aircraft into the airspace and also the capability to manage the routing of them around restricted airspace, where required.
In Australia, Thales brings our aerospace experience and expertise to address the safety, regulatory, security and capability challenges faced by civil drone operators in this rapidly evolving domain.
This is facilitated through the ScaleFlyt suite of products dedicated to drone regulators, operators and manufacturers in order to address these challenges.
ScaleFlyt supports these various stakeholders through our ScaleFlyt product portfolio, including:
- Drone management and flight planning - ScaleFlyt Digital App
- Identification & tracking for safe drone operations - ScaleFlyt Remote ID
- Safe drone operations outside of prohibited areas - ScaleFlyt Geocaging
- Prevention of jamming and spoofing of GPS signals - ScaleFlyt Antijamming
In Australia, the ScaleFlyt Digital App, is a CASA-verified application that can provide customised, location-based information along with easy-to-use maps that display where you can and can’t fly your drone in accordance with aviation legislation.
Thales is also developing a long range Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) UAS, ideally suited for the Australian environment, and which will be capable of performing a range of critical functions including coastal & border surveillance, law enforcement security, linear infrastructure and large infrastructure site inspections.
