Versaterm, a provider of public safety technology solutions, announced today the acquisition of Aloft, the UAS traffic management (UTM), airspace intelligence and flight safety solutions company.
“Aloft is an FAA-approved Unmanned Service Supplier (USS) that specializes in real-time airspace intelligence and flight authorizations. It powers the vast majority of Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC) authorizations in the United States, serving as the backbone for compliant drone operations in complex and restricted airspace,” said Veraterm in a press release.
“Aloft’s advanced airspace awareness and authorization capabilities will be integrated directly into the DroneSense by Versaterm platform. This will empower agencies to seamlessly manage drone operations, flight authorizations and regulatory compliance from one platform – elevating drone programs as core operational assets.”
“Aloft is a natural complement for DroneSense by Versaterm and will remove blockers our partner agencies face on a day-to-day basis,” said Steve Seoane, CEO of Versaterm. “We are significantly accelerating our drone strategy with this acquisition. Integrating Aloft into our DroneSense platform is the pivotal next step in enabling agencies to transform how they both respond and communicate.”
“Aloft was built to power the airspace layer of modern drone operations. Joining Versaterm allows us to bring that airspace intelligence to a broader platform serving public safety, critical infrastructure, enterprise and government operators alike,” said Jon Hegranes, Founder and CEO of Aloft.
In July 2025, Versaterm acquired DroneSense, a drone fleet management and situational awareness company. Since October, DroneSense has been integrated into Versaterm’s Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) system, allowing public safety agencies to deploy drone flights as seamlessly as dispatching any patrol, fire or emergency medical services (EMS) unit. The addition of Aloft to the platform provides the critical regulatory and compliance layer that will transition drones into a standard part of an agency’s daily operations.
