Airways International and Tāwhaki Joint Venture have completed their first joint project since the collaboration agreement was announced in June.
Aotearoa New Zealand is working to advance uncrewed aircraft operations, a goal that has been boosted by the deployment of the AirShare uncrewed traffic management (UTM) system at Tāwhaki National Aerospace Centre.
Implementing the UTM system developed by Airways at the multi-use facility near Christchurch marks the completion of the first phase of the collaboration agreement between the two organisations. AirShare enables Tāwhaki to facilitate all uncrewed aircraft operations at the centre, through its flight information management system (FIMS) and uncrewed aircraft services including flight authorisations, and pilot communications. AirShare also enhances situational awareness by providing a picture of airspace activity at and around Tāwhaki.
Advanced UTM features will be trialled at the centre, with input from operators, Tāwhaki and Airways to gather data on how UTM supports airspace development.
AirShare was previously used at Tāwhaki as part of the beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) flights led by Wisk Aero to safely integrate an uncrewed aircraft into unsegregated controlled airspace. This was in partnership with government and industry partners including Airways.
