AirMap has announced a new partnership that brings AirMap airspace intelligence to the Kespry platform for commercial drone operations.
Enterprise customers in mining, construction, insurance, and other industries count on Kespry’s autonomous drone and flight planning and data analytics platform to gather aerial data and translate it into actionable business insights. The Kespry drone can take off, gather high-resolution aerial data, avoid obstacles, and land without the help of a human pilot, allowing industry customers to conduct drone operations at scale with ease.
Now, anyone with a Kespry drone will have instant and integrated access to AirMap airspace intelligence when they plan their flights, ensuring that each mission can be flown more safely, more efficiently, and in compliance with relevant airspace conditions and requirements.
During the flight planning process, the Kespry app automatically surfaces AirMap airspace advisories, wind, and weather tailored to the unique parameters of each flight, including the drone operator’s pilot certification. Preflight checks are easier than ever before, autofilling this information in each mission plan to help operators move more quickly from field, to flight, to finish. Airspace rules, temporary flight restrictions, and the locations of schools, prisons, hospitals, power plants, and more can be viewed with just a tap.
The result: a richer, more streamlined experience that makes situational awareness and flight planning effortless for Kespry customers.
Kespry is also the first in the drone industry to integrate airspace intelligence from AirMap’s contextual airspace offering, which tailors rules and conditions to the exact specifications of each mission, including operator certification, flight location, and speed, height, and weight requirements. Users of AirMap’s web and mobile apps will already be familiar with some of our new contextual airspace features, which will be released to the entire AirMap community via an API in 2018.
