ANRA Technologies to Power Finland’s U-space with Advanced UTM Solutions

ANRA Technologies, a leading international provider of uncrewed systems traffic management (UTM) and mission management solutions, is pleased to announce its successful bid to deliver cutting-edge U-space services for VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. This tender award marks a significant milestone for ANRA in expanding its footprint within the European drone ecosystem and further advancing safe, integrated drone operations.

Under the agreement, ANRA will implement its next-generation UTM platform called ANRA Noon. This platform will enable secure, efficient, and scalable drone operations across various use cases, including research, commercial, and public safety applications. ANRA will provide mandatory U-space services for flight authorization, geo-awareness, network ID, and traffic information throughout Finland. Noon will empower VTT with real-time airspace intelligence, flight planning, and regulatory compliance tools, ensuring the seamless integration of unmanned aircraft into Finnish airspace.

“We are honored to have been selected by VTT for this important initiative,” said Amit Ganjoo, Founder and CEO of ANRA Technologies. “ANRA Noon is designed to accommodate the unique requirements of diverse drone operations, and we look forward to supporting VTT in its mission to explore and implement future-focused drone solutions.”

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland is known for driving innovations across numerous industries, including drones. By collaborating with ANRA Technologies, VTT aims to strengthen Finland’s position as a leader in safe, responsible, and innovative drone deployments. The project will also support broader European U-space objectives, focusing on harmonized air traffic management for unmanned aircraft systems.

”We at VTT are looking forward to collaborating with ANRA Technologies on implementing this UTM system for our research activities. This is one of the vital steps in our mission of paving the way for the industry on its road towards secure, safe and scalable drone operation business,” said Dr. Petri Mononen, Research Team Leader for VTT Innovative Air Mobility.

The timing of this project is ideal, as ANRA is undergoing certification by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to become the first U-space Service Provider (USSP). These two initiatives promote collaborative learning, ensuring that ANRA Noon remains the leading UTM service provider.
