Platform & software
Hardware is only one piece of the puzzle needed to make access to the sky seamless. Our comprehensive software application suite is the powerhouse that sits behind Kite and Condor to operate drone logistics at scale.
Powered by the Digital Twin and enabled by seamless flow of data, our integrated application ecosystem encompasses the full suite of internal and customer-facing applications from production through to the systems to manage the delivery network orders.
The Swoop Aero software suite
Developed using lessons learnt across 18,000 operational BVLOS flights, Swoop Aero's 12 core software applications are the full suite of digital tools we need.
- Flight Critical Systems
- Knowledge & Learning
- OPS Management
- Service Delivery
- Application Ecosystem
Remote Pilot Station (RPS)
The Remote Pilot Station (RPS) is the primary interface for RPA monitoring and command. The RPS is accessible from any device connected to the internet and is protected via multiple layered security protocols to prevent unauthorised access. This allows the aircraft to be flown remotely from anywhere in the world. One pilot can control up to 30 aircraft; a ratio which allows rapid and cost-effective network scalability.
Operations Management System (OPS)
Our proprietary Operations Management System allows the oversight of operations, including securing operational release for flights as well as flight authorization. This ensures that all regulatory reporting requirements, including maintenance management, defect reporting, and rectification are met. The integrated operations platform is premised on a set of predetermined outcomes to ensure strategic decisions are made and programmed before the aircraft takes off.
Planner - Flight Planning
Our proprietary cloud-based flight route planner allows automated checks preventing any breach of aircraft, airspace, or ground risk limits to ensure the airspace & aviation ecosystem remains agile, robust, & resilient. All routes are passed through an automated software validation tool which ensures routes are planned within set limitations, comply with flight planning risk mitigations, & clear of terrain within the flight geography.
Our software in action
Based in the cloud and underpinned by the Swoop Aero Digital Twin, the fully integrated software suite represents every core and supporting application required to operate an unlimited fleet of drones from anywhere in the world.
