Airservices Australia is inviting uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) service suppliers (USS) to submit a Request for Proposal (RFP) to collaborate with Airservices Australia in advancing digital platforms for the next generation of drone operations.
“With the launch of its Flight Information Management System (FIMS) in late 2025, Airservices Australia is looking to work cooperatively with USS to solve challenges and harness opportunities to create a sustainable, open market Uncrewed Aircraft Systems Traffic Management (UTM) ecosystem in Australia,” said the company in a press statement.
“As the trusted provider of services for both crewed and uncrewed aviation, Airservices Australia is playing a pivotal role in supporting USS developers. These partnerships will help pave the way for the front-end technologies for UTM services to seamlessly integrate with FIMS, providing tailored solutions that meet the evolving needs of drone operators.
“Airservices Australia Head of Transformation, Uncrewed Services Integration, Luke Gumley said these innovative USS software solutions will ensure the safe growth of the burgeoning drone industry.
“Working with UAS service suppliers in industry to embed new technologies and capabilities is a game changer for aviation in Australia,” Luke said.
“Our support to the first cohort of USS will see us working collaboratively across government and industry, to help USS integrate and connect to FIMS, so they can innovate and deliver tailored services to drone operators.”
Recent analysis commissioned by Airservices predicts that drone and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) flights in Australia will surge from around 1.5 million currently to more than 60 million by 2043.
In partnership with Frequentis Australasia, Airservices Australia is developing FIMS as the backbone to the UTM ecosystem to safely, reliably and efficiently integrate drones, air taxis and other uncrewed aircraft into Australia’s busy airspace.
