Technology
Our physical assets and vertically-integrated software suite provide the complete infrastructure for drone logistics at scale. It’s already proven, with real customers across the globe.
We offer end-to-end product control and a seamless user experience. Many of our competitors use multiple complex systems and aircraft types to achieve the same result, which comes with unnecessary risk and complexity. A fully integrated system means no need for plugins or external dependencies, making our services more secure and drastically more affordable.
Seamless integration
Configuration, operations and airworthiness management
Each KITE component is monitored, its action is tracked, and every flight decision is recorded by high-quality data flowing from the asset ecosystem into the Digital Twin, which uses AI to keep you safe.
Kite Aero manages the oversight of operations, including securing operational release for flights and flight authorisation. We ensure that all regulatory reporting requirements are met, including maintenance management, defect reporting and rectification.
One-to-many Ground Control Station (GCS)
With nothing more than an iPad, a pilot can use our operationally-proven GCS to monitor multiple autonomous aircraft simultaneously, from anywhere in the world.
Our platform provides quality airspace technology for our clients, including; Full Air Traffic Control and UTM integration available by encrypted API, route approval takeoff and airspace entry clearance, in-flight instructions, and traffic deconfliction.
Built with precision for versatility, we’ve integrated automated inbound and outbound flight scheduling. Operator requested dynamic route deviation is available for SAR and disaster response missions.
Simultaneous communication links
Our proven communications suite enables low latency connectivity anywhere in the world by leveraging mobile internet, satellite communications, and regional specific direct links.
This innovative approach to communications enables Kite Aero to operate in some of the most austere geographical locations, from remote communities in DR Congo to the Highlands and Isles of Scotland.
Integrated flight route planning
Planning is made easy with our cloud-based software.
Our flight-route planning platform includes automated checks to prevent breaches of aircraft, airspace, or ground-risk limits, helping keep the aviation ecosystem agile, robust, and resilient.
Once a route is planned, checked by Kite Aero’s software, and approved, version control and updates are managed centrally and processed automatically. This means an aircraft can never fly an unapproved route, helping secure deliveries on every flight.
