The data will be supplied from Passur’s commercial passive radar and ground-based flight surveillance network.
Drone operators will also be able to share real-time digital information about the location of manned aircraft using Passur’s databases and air traffic management products.
AirMap CEO Ben Marcus said: “AirMap’s partnership with Passur will make the skies safer for both manned and unmanned aircraft.
“By adding Passur’s real-time information about manned aircraft to AirMap’s existing data about live and hyperlocal flight conditions, we are enhancing situational awareness in low-altitude airspace, and making beyond-line-of-sight flight and deconfliction with manned aircraft possible for drones.”
