Challenge
Creating a scalable, national-level airspace governance framework that enables diverse commercial drone operations - urban logistics, medical delivery, public safety, while ensuring safe coexistence in high-density and complex environments shared with manned and unmanned aviation, civilian and restricted military airspace.
Solution
Airwayz serves as the primary Dynamic Airspace Governance platform for INDI, a multi-phase national consortium led by the Israel Innovation Authority, CAAI and Ayalon Highways. OVERWATCH provides the unified C2 backbone across multiple sites as a national testbed. Current focus (Phase 3): sensor fusion and spectrum intelligence, tactical safety barriers for manned aviation, and recreational aviation integration.
Results
- 45,000+ commercial drone flights successfully coordinated across multiple sites and use cases
- 15+ Municipal authorities, agencies, data and service providers - all coordinated within a single unified aerial picture
- Proven SWIM protocol interface to national ATM systems for data synchronization
- Serving as national regulatory benchmark for CAAI to define future BVLOS and U-Space regulations
- Demonstrated transition from visualization to context-aware decision engine - reducing cognitive burden
- Use cases include public safety, commercial food delivery, urban security, and infrastructure inspection within the Herzliya, Raanana and Kfar Saba Municipalities.
- Integrated TENNA's spectrum awareness layer bringing commercial operators the ability to perform under compromised and contested RF environments
