Kittyhawk has just announced a new solution – and while the company has been innovating pretty constantly to improve functionality over the last few years, their latest product looks like a game changer. With Dynamicc Airspace™, Kittyhawk is taking “situational awareness” to a new level, allowing customers to monitor and manage drone operations with a new level of granularity for their business. It’s one more sign of maturity for the drone industry – and for Kittyhawk. As the tools to manage drone operations get better, they’re offering more of the tools that major enterprise needs to manage their risks and enjoy the benefits of wide scale drone operations.
The following is a post by Jon Hegranes, Kittyhawk’s Founder and CEO.
Airspace used to be the airspace. Your map was my map. The sectional was everyone’s sectional. But today’s airspace is more nuanced, more granular, and more unique to the recurring tasks that drones are taking on in the enterprise.
As the operating system for enterprise drone programs, Kittyhawk’s job is to connect all the different data points and activities into a single system of record — trusted, encrypted, intuitive, and actionable. With the launch of Kittyhawk Dynamic Airspace™, we’re bringing a new level of compliance to drone operations while also giving our customers more control over THEIR airspace — and by definition — their workflows, their reports, and their risk tolerance.
While going through the LAANC approval process with the FAA last year, we started building our own airspace product with direct FAA data sources and UAS Facility Map content. But we didn’t just want to give you airspace — our goal is to give you YOUR airspace. Kittyhawk Dynamic Airspace enables your team to look at your airspace, see your authorizations, your locations, your annotations, and the points of interest relevant to your company.
