MySky ECO and Airwayz have launched a joint venture to develop a next generation long-range UAV system, say the two companies in a press release. This binational project was recently selected for funding by the Space Florida-Israel Innovation Partnership Program and is designed to demonstrate a fully autonomous drone platform capable of Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations in regulated and complex airspaces across the United States.
“Our collaboration with Airwayz brings together two highly complementary technologies — advanced efficient aviation and cutting-edge AI-driven UTM,” said Jeremy Maswary, CEO of MySky ECO. “With this project, we’re not just testing large BVLOS drones; across multiple flight corridors and mission profiles. The MS-1D flight envelope and exceptional range and endurance capabilities are a natural fit for the Airwayz technology.”
The system will integrate MySky’s MS-1D UAV platform, derived from its light aircraft technology, with Airwayz’ AI-based UTM software. The Airwayz platform enables real-time coordination of multiple drone fleets, dynamic airspace management, and safe coexistence with manned aircraft – enabled with strategic and tactical deconfliction capabilities.
“This is an important step for the future of airspace management and autonomous flight,” said Eyal Zor, CEO of Airwayz. “Together with MySky ECO, we’re building a real-world operational model that enables unmanned aircraft to support high-impact missions like organ transport and search-and-rescue, even in busy skies.”
Development is already underway, with flight testing targeted towards the end of the year. The system will be evaluated across multiple high-impact use cases—including medical and organ transport, emergency and package delivery, search and rescue, and border reconnaissance—requiring a long-range, high-speed drone capable of operating from short or unimproved runway environments, says the press release. While the project is co-funded by Space Florida and the Israel Innovation Authority, all technical and operational components are being developed by MySky ECO and Airwayz.
Airwayz is responsible for delivering a UTM framework, including real-time airspace monitoring, mission planning tools, deconfliction services, and direct integration with air traffic control. MySky ECO leads the aircraft development, testing, FAA coordination, and stakeholder engagement across the proposed East Coast corridor.
