High Lander and Dimetor have signed a strategic cooperation agreement designed “to transform cellular intelligence from a supporting feature into a core pillar of uncrewed traffic management (UTM) and beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations,” said the companies in a press release.
“While the initial collaboration focused on integrating Dimetor’s AirborneRF into High Lander’s Vega UTM to provide 3D connectivity maps and population density data, this new phase prioritizes the creation of a unified digital infrastructure. By merging High Lander’s expertise in airspace orchestration with Dimetor’s telecommunications intelligence, the two companies are addressing the industry’s most pressing challenge: the need for absolute, data-driven certainty in complex airspaces.”
“BVLOS operations are the future of the drone world, but the ecosystem can only reach its full potential when supported by a truly resilient infrastructure.” said Alon Abelson, CEO of High Lander. The integration of Dimetor’s data feeds into Vega UTM allows airspace managers and operators to make better-informed decisions than ever before, he continued. “This isn’t just about adding a layer of data; it’s about creating the essential connectivity framework that directly enables the scalable BVLOS missions the industry needs.”
The expanded agreement specifically targets the rising complexity of modern aerial environments, where traditional safety measures are no longer sufficient.
“Today, we see additional threats to safe airspace operations. Therefore, monitoring and detecting GNSS jamming/spoofing, as well as identifying and tracing non-cooperative drones in cellular networks, become safety critical. Dimetor and High Lander therefore expand their collaboration to address these threats, including data from Dimetor’s NAVSentry and AirborneAI solution.” — Thomas Neubauer, CEO of Dimetor.
By integrating these specialized data streams, NAVSentry for GNSS integrity and AirborneAI for network-based tracking, High Lander’s Vega UTM will offer a level of situational awareness that extends beyond simple flight path deconfliction. It will provide a comprehensive shield against both environmental interference and non-compliant actors, say the companies.
