Following president Emmanuel Macron visit to Rwanda in 2021, we presented our innovations in drone operations management to the Rwandan government and set up a 2 years project in collaboration with Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority and Rwanda Airports Company (RAC)
We are proud to announce that the deployment and adaptation of InnovโATMโs UTM solution U-SpaceKeeperยฎ, in Rwanda is a great success.ย
Last week, the final demonstration in presence of the Rwandan Minister of Infrastructure Jimmy Gasore and the French Ambassador to Rwanda Anfrรฉ Antoine, marked a major milestone in this project.ย
The Rwandese platform DronePortal now integrates :
– DroneKeeper to allow the drone pilots to directly send their flight requests to the authorities,
– AirSpaceKeeper for the authorities to review, accept or decline the missions submitted, and
– U-SpaceTracker, a software and trackers allowing the detection and monitoring of collaborative UAS
On top of that, the solution integrates RF sensors developed by our partners CERBAIR, allowing detection of non-collaborative UAS next to Kigali airport.
We would like to thank all the parties involved, and in particular :
RCAA, RAC, Direction gรฉnรฉrale du Trรฉsor (French Treasury), the Regional Economic Service, Bpifrance, the French Embassy in Rwanda, Locus Dynamics, CERBAIR, Rwanda Development Board (RDB), MinICT, and Ngamije Winnie , Silas Udahemuka , Charles Habonimana , Arthur Germond, Mathieu Ecoiffier, Thomas Delemotte, Quentin Dussart for making this project a success.
Letโs shape a more secure airspace together.
