Strategic partnership announced today will support new airspace user integration
Altitude Angel, a global leader in unified traffic management (UTM) and NexG CSA, part of the NexG Group, have chosen the second day of the Airspace World expo in Lisbon to announce a strategic commercial partnership which will revolutionise the way the sky is managed across Malaysia for a new generation of airspace users.
The combination of Altitude Angel’s GuardianUTM suite of technologies and NexG CSA’s ‘in-country’ expertise will enable the creation of competitive and innovative services aligned with the strategic goals of the Malaysian Drone Technology Action Plan 2022-2030 (MDTAP30), which will allow Malaysia to use and benefit from the array of use cases drone operations can bring.
The GuardianUTM platform will provide real-time situational awareness and data visibility, improving operational efficiency and safety across designated UAS airspace. Through live monitoring capabilities, key stakeholders will have direct insights into UAS activities, helping to maintain public safety while developing and growing the drone ecosystem as part of a new regulated environment for UAS operations.
As the partnership develops, new opportunities will be explored such as the introduction of Altitude Angel’s transformative ARROW technology to the Malaysian peninsula, which when fused with its GuardianUTM platform, detects and identifies all airspace users, enabling drones to fly BVLOS and share the airspace with crewed aviation safely and securely.
On the strategic partnership, Richard Parker, Altitude Angel, CEO and founder said: “Supporting the development of new airspace users across Malaysia and Southern Asia is one of our strategic priorities. This partnership with NexG CSA is a milestone in the development of Malaysia’s airspace, bringing together the technology, innovation, and local expertise which will provide the foundation for a new and exciting drone economy.”
On behalf of NexG CSA, its CEO Dato’ Syahril Abdullah, commented, “We are pleased to enter into this strategic partnership with Altitude Angel, a global leader in unified traffic management solutions. This collaboration represents a significant step forward in supporting the growth of drone-related services and capabilities, aligned with our broader national ambitions. By integrating advanced UTM technologies, we aim to enhance airspace safety, improve operational visibility, and support the safe and scalable integration of drone operations. As the partnership evolves, we look forward to exploring new opportunities that will further strengthen the ecosystem and unlock the full potential of drone technology in Malaysia.”
