We are AirWise
Industry experts building the platform for the next era of drone operations
AirWise helps organizations manage drone operations across pre-flight, in-flight, and post-flight work. The platform brings airspace awareness, FAA authorizations, live operational visibility, and post-flight intelligence into one environment. That gives public safety, energy, and utilities teams a stronger foundation for safe and scalable drone operations.

Why AirWise?
Confidence before takeoff
The platform brings airspace awareness, flight planning, weather, NOTAMs, LAANC authorizations, SGIs, and pre-flight checks into one place. It also supports strategic deconfliction for more advanced operations, helping teams prepare for routine drone use today, and beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations tomorrow.
Real-time in-flight awareness
Teams can monitor conditions, receive alerts, and coordinate faster with a common operating picture, low-latency video, and real-time telemetry. AirWise also fuses inputs from ADS-B, Remote ID, RF, radar, weather, and more into one operating environment.
High-impact post-flight data
The platform supports 3D models, 2D maps, archived telemetry, reporting, compliance, pilot analytics, fleet analytics, and maintenance tracking in one place. This gives teams a better way to manage assets, certifications, registrations, and mission history.mpliance, pilot analytics, fleet analytics, and maintenance tracking in one place.

Why AirWise stands apart
End-to-end drone operations
Pre-flight, in-flight, and post-flight operations live in one environment. This reduces tool sprawl, integration risk, and data silos while giving teams a clearer path to a scalable drone program.
Built for mixed fleets
AirWise is hardware- and software-agnostic. The platform lets teams choose the right aircraft, sensors, and tools for each operation without limiting future flexibility.
Expertise behind the platform
The platform is built by experienced drone operators and aviation experts. It reflects field experience, regulatory knowledge, and a hands-on understanding of the requirements for a successful drone program.
Future-ready by design
The market is moving toward Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) and Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations. The platform supports today’s airspace and authorization needs while preparing teams for the next phase of compliant drone operations.
Enterprise integration at scale
The platform’s enterprise-ready architecture and open APIs connect mapping tools, back-office systems, analytics layer, and partner technologies without creating new operational bottlenecks.
Proven in high-stakes environments
The platform already supports public safety, energy, and infrastructure teams. It is shaped by real-world operations where speed, reliability, and situational awareness matter most.
