NATS Services partners with Altitude Angel

NATS Services, the commercial arm of the UK’s leading air navigation service provider, has partnered with Altitude Angel to create ‘a strategic commercial partnership which will revolutionise the way the sky is managed for new airspace users’. The arrangement will see Altitude Angel’s GuardianUTM suite of technologies complemented by NATS Services’ airspace management expertise to enable ‘competitive and innovative services to integrate new airspace users’ while maintaining a focus on safety. As well as seeing GuardianUTM Flight Approval Services rolled out at some NATS-controlled airports later this year, the partnership will also accelerate Altitude Angel’s roll-out of its ARROW technology, which enables drones to integrate safely with crewed aviation. “This partnership brings together in-depth knowledge, real-world experience, and, most importantly, a shared vision for a future where the skies are not just open but interconnected, where traditional and emerging aviation seamlessly coexist,” said Richard Parker, CEO and founder of Altitude Angel.
