According to its developer – Involi – the new service enhances safety and efficiency in the skies by providing real-time surveillance data for both manned and unmanned aircraft.
Involi.live is an air traffic detection platform that enables drone operators to detect low altitude airplanes and helicopters. With this free web-based tool, operators can make important decisions like whether to take off or abort a mission. They can also access information about nearby aircraft such as ICAO code, position, altitude, speed, the last 20 minutes of its track, and whether the aircraft is in ascending or descending phase. Operators can even create traffic alerts when aircraft enter their specific area of intervention. A live coverage map increases confidence and assurance by showing the reliability of the detection.
“As the drone industry takes flight, we’re proud to be the pioneers in building the infrastructure that enables safer drone operations with enhanced situational awareness. And this data is equally important for optimising airport operations on the ground,” said Manu Lubrano, co-founder and CEO of Involi. “We are thrilled to offer these services to Dallas and anticipate expanding to other US cities [soon].”
The web-based platform reads data from Involi proprietary network of air traffic receivers, strategically placed across the Dallas Metropolitan Area over telecommunication infrastructure, covering an area of more than 3000 sq m (DFW Mode C veil). This network receives signals from the aircraft’s transponders, through familiar technologies such as ADS-B and UAT, and even Mode S and Mode A/C thanks to multilateration (on demand).
