Skyward CEO Jonathan Evans said: "In the last year, I’ve seen the commercial drone market evolve rapidly, with over 1,400 FAA grants to date.
"Skyward gives those operators comprehensive tools to access the sky and meet their business objectives."
The solution is being used by more than 150 operators in the US, Canada, Caribbean, Australia, and South Africa for applications, including agriculture, industrial inspection, construction, oil and gas surveying, real estate, and cinematography.
Skyward features a drone airspace map, which simplifies aviation rules to show operators where to fly, flight planning and logging, that can be configured for specific requirements, and a digital system of record to manage personnel, drones, and equipment.
