INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Altitude Angel has actually announced that it has been granted a United States patent for its pioneering ground-based find and prevent
(DAA) innovation, ARROW, the foundational innovation behind the UKs very first drone superhighway.The newly U.S
patented ARROW system allows drones to securely operate Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) without the need for onboard sensing units or,
seriously, visual observers
Rather, ARROW leverages a network of tactically located ground-based sensorsincluding radio frequency detectors and high-resolution cams
The data collected is then fused through Altitude Angels air traffic management software to offer a high-resolution, real-time, airspace
picture at substantially lower expense and with similar qualities to RADAR.This ground-breaking innovation allows drones to seamlessly
integrate into shared airspace with traditional aircraft, unlocking transformative applications in emergency situation response, medical
logistics, infrastructure evaluation, and more.Further, the technology is developed to supply automated air traffic control service to
industrial drones who want to use the service, independent of other airspace users: this suggests there is no burden on standard airspace
users, GA pilots, paragliders and so on, to alter their operations or carry brand-new equipment.Receiving this U.S
patent is a significant milestone for Altitude Angel and a testament to the resourcefulness of our team, said Richard Parker, CEO and
founder of Altitude Angel
ARROW is not just an innovation its a seismic shift in how we think of airspace access and drone operations
With this patent, were one action closer to making scalable, automatic drone flight a worldwide reality, by allowing our partners to licence
and release their own scalable infrastructure.The U.S
patent reinforces Altitude Angels worldwide IP portfolio, that includes two UK patents awarded in 2020 for ARROW, and Conflict Resolution
Service Tactical, and positions Altitude Angel to broaden using ARROW worldwide by making it possible for relied on, local, partners to
construct their own infrastructure on which regional drone economies can be developed.Project Skyway, part of Innovate UKs Future Flight
Challenge, concluded in January 2025 and was led by Altitude Angel in cooperation with BT and other crucial partners
The project demonstrated how ARROW can provide Separation-as-a-Service, making it possible for safe, inclusive, and effective, numerous
drone operations (and operators) without segregating airspace or requiring costly onboard equipment.The patents validate Altitude Angels
dedication, resourcefulness and push for development, to support the next generation of city air mobility and autonomous aviation.Source:
