Unifly began demonstrations in 2018 as part of the \u201cSAFIR Project,\u201d aimingto integrate U-space (Note 1), a concept of operational management that includes the regulatory framework for drone integration in the EU, into real-world environments and society. In 2019, at the PoAB, Unifly conducted demonstrations of multi-drone operations and collision-avoidance capabilities using its UTM platform. Following these results, Unifly signed a formal deployment agreement with the PoAB in 2020 and has been operating the platform at full scale since then (Note 2).<\/span><\/p>\n

Unifly works in collaboration with SkeyDrone, a joint venture between skeyes, Belgium\u2019s air navigation service provider (ANSP), and Brussels Airport Company, the operator of Belgium\u2019s major international airport. Together, they have developed and built the UTM system used at the PoAB. The PoAB is one of the world\u2019s most drone-progressive ports, having built a globally advanced drone ecosystem and accumulated the following operational track record to date:<\/span><\/p>\n
