High Lander Becomes Member of Global UTM Association

The Global Uncrewed Traffic Management Association (GUTMA) has announced the addition of High Lander, an Israeli drone fleet management and uncrewed traffic management (UTM) software provider, as a member of its organization.

As a member of GUTMA, High Lander will participate in working groups and other activities, taking
on a significant role in the development of global UTM standards and the U-space in Europe and
beyond.

GUTMA was established in 2016 to promote the development of an ecosystem of drone services that operate in tandem with legacy aviation and provide real value to society. To this end, it works
towards establishing a global standard of UTM services and building a U-space in which ATM and UTM services work harmoniously.

The association’s activities include setting up working groups, organizing industry events, and publishing whitepapers and UTM standards reports, and its recommendations have formed the basis of the European Commission’s drone strategy. 

High Lander’s proprietary UTM solution, Universal UTM, is a drone-agnostic, automated platform that monitors all airborne activity over territories of any size in real time. It autonomously approves, denies, and suggests alternative flight plans as needed, providing complete airspace coverage for businesses and government authorities. Users of Universal UTM span the globe, with clients including the Israeli national police force and Speedbird Aero, the biggest drone delivery company in Brazil.

In joining GUTMA, High Lander joins a select group of full members, including Airbus, Boeing, the
Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority, the US Federal Aviation Administration, Israel Aerospace Industries and Switzerland’s Federal Office for Civil Aviation (FACO). FACO was one of the founding organizations of GUTMA, and its Director of Aviation Policy and Strategy, Marcel Kägi, sits on GUTMA’s board of directors.

“We are honored to receive membership of GUTMA. Our values align exactly with this organization and our membership strengthens our position as a pioneer in scalable UTM technology,” said Alon
Abelson, CEO and co-founder of High Lander. “We look forward to participating in the shaping of
policy decisions and international UTM standards in the years to come.”
