Ottawa, CA: Kongsberg Geospatial, an Ottawa-based air traffic management company, and AiRXOS, part of GE Aviation, announced today that AiRXOS has fully integrated the real-time airspace picture from the Kongsberg Geospatial IRIS airspace management application into the AiRXOS’ Air Mobility Platform for unmanned traffic management.

The Kongsberg Geospatial IRIS airspace management technology fuses multiple disparate, real-time sensor feeds to create a highly accurate airspace picture around critical infrastructure locations such as airports. This provides real-time calculation of aircraft separation, airspace monitoring alerts and communications line-of-sight prediction to enable detect and avoid for safe Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations. This real-time local airspace picture is then integrated into the cloud-based AiRXOS’ Air MobilityTM Platform, a dynamic, cloud-based foundation, purpose-built for advanced operations and the evolving future of transportation.

Ottawa, CA: Kongsberg Geospatial Ltd., an Ottawa-based geospatial and defense technology company, announced today that they are introducing a new multi-domain control system for coordinating the use of drones in the battlespace.

Over the past four years, the company has developed an airspace awareness system for operating unmanned aerial systems (UAS) beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS), called IRIS GCS. While it is primarily a civilian product, the IRIS system was developed based on Kongsberg Geospatial’s corporate experience developing civilian and military air traffic control systems, including the US Navy air traffic control system and embedded trainer used on aircraft carriers, and military command and control systems, including the US Navy AEGIS system.

Ottawa, CA: Kongsberg Geospatial Ltd., an Ottawa-based geospatial technology company announced the release of IRIS GCS 2.0, an updated and enhanced version of their Fleet Control Station and Airspace Management System. IRIS GCS provides drone operators with enhanced airspace awareness, navigational tools, and deconfliction and air safety features for BVLOS operators, while providing airspace managers with an integrated airspace picture that consolidates data from a wide range of real-time data feeds and sensors.

Ottawa, CA: Kongsberg Geospatial Ltd., an Ottawa-based geospatial visualisation software company, and MicroPilot, world leader in professional UAV autopilots , announced today that the Kongsberg Geospatial IRIS GCS has been integrated with the MicroPilot MP2x28 series of autopilots to enhance the ability of UAV operators using MicroPilot autopilots to conduct safe BVLOS operations. The integration will be demonstrated at AUVSI XPONENTIAL booth #2619.
