EVTOL flying in the city

先进空中机动性

“航空. Welcome to commercial airspace.

At last, your uncrewed aircraft can go beyond visual line of sight

Gone are the days when your uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) were limited to 400ft altitude, restricted to ‘line of sight’ (LOS) and excluded from commercial airspace.


Now 400ft has become 40,000ft. Line of sight has become ‘beyond visual line of sight’ (BVLOS). And UAVs can share the skies with crewed aircraft – safely and seamlessly. Viasat Velaris delivers a ubiquitous 安全服务 data link to uncrewed aviation – for ultra-dependable BVLOS connectivity. With a robust connection through our L-band satellite network, plus access to our industry-leading partner ecosystem, you’ll finally have the power to harness commercial opportunities in autonomous cargo and advanced air mobility (AAM).

Reshaping the world below

Viasat is already supporting partners using uncrewed aircraft to deliver vital services for communities across the globe.

 

The medical and humanitarian aid sectors have been embracing uncrewed aviation for some time. 事实上, UAVs operating in remote search and rescue operations have already helped to save hundreds of lives. That’s why hospitals and pharmacies in both rural and urban locations are beginning to see the potential. It’s projected that there will be 10 million commercial UAVs flying in mixed airspace by 2030. Of these, an estimated 600,000 will be flying beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS). 事实上, Cranfield University estimates that switching to uncrewed aircraft could reduce CO2 emissions per delivery by as much as 36% for a medium parcel (5 kgs) and 47% for a large package (50 kgs). 

Built by pioneers in air traffic and aviation safety management

Velaris comes from the same team that has been developing crewed air traffic management (ATM) systems for more than 30 years.

Trusted by global aviation regulators

We already have extensive uncrewed traffic management (UTM) experience working with civil and military governments worldwide. As a result, we are trusted by global aviation regulators.

覆盖全球

Velaris uses the same Viasat network used for aviation safety communications over vast oceans. We have a fleet of six L-band satellites offering resilient global coverage, with a further three I-8 satellites set to launch in the coming years.

Ubiquitous satellite connectivity & 安全服务
