FREQUENTIS Recognised for its Low-Altitude Air Picture and Military UTM Capability for the German Armed Forces
FREQUENTIS recognised for its low-altitude air picture and military UTM capability for the German Armed Forces.
• Frequentis delivered defence‑grade UTM capability to strengthen safety, security, and
resilience in the lower airspace
• Unified ‘drone air picture’ supports integration of crewed and uncrewed aircraft
• Operational validation demonstrates scalable, real‑world UAS enablement
Frequentis was named runner-up in the Safety, Security & Resilience category of the Seamless Skies
Awards. The project delivered a pioneering low‑altitude air picture and military uncrewed traffic
management (UTM) capability to the German Armed Forces. The award recognises a breakthrough in
how defence organisations can safely manage rapidly growing UAS (uncrewed aerial systems) activity
while maintaining operational control in complex, dynamic airspace environments.
Developed to meet rising safety and security demands, the solution grabbed the attention of the judges
for its capability to provide a unified operational drone air picture, structured digital UTM services, and
resilience‑focused enhancements designed for real military conditions.
The capability was validated directly in the operational environment, using real air situation data and
mission workflows. From January to October 2025, the system supported more than 1,400 drone
flights, demonstrating sustained, repeatable operational throughput. This activity reflects the value of
safe, trusted access to the lower airspace.
Delivered as a service‑based architecture, the solution integrates identification services, flight
authorisation, geo‑information, traffic information, tracking, and weather services. It also incorporates
defence‑critical capabilities such as conformance monitoring, dynamic airspace reconfiguration,
non‑cooperative UAS detection readiness, and C‑UAS integration pathways.
“This recognition at the Seamless Skies Awards reflects the dedication and expertise of everyone
involved in delivering a resilient, defence‑grade UTM capability,” says Peter Skiczuk, Frequentis vice-president Defence. “It demonstrates how Frequentis is helping customers strengthen safety, security,
and operational continuity in the lower airspace, ensuring that UAS activity can be integrated safely,
predictably, and at scale.”
The Seamless Skies Awards are a prestigious global awards recognising exceptional achievements in
air traffic management and UAS traffic management, delivered by CANSO and Global Airspace Radar.
