Innov'ATM's UTM system deployed in Rwanda, in collaboration with RCAA and RAC, to enhance airspace safety and security

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)

A successfull deployment

We are proud to announce that the deployment and adaptation of Innovโ€™ATMโ€™s 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 plateform, DronePortal now integrates :

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.

Letโ€™s shape a more secure airspace together.
