Route Planning Needs

When creating new Operation Zones in agreement with authorities, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Operation Managers face several challenges in defining the most appropriate routes to reach their destinations. The following considerations are key during the planning phase for each new route:

planning icon

Minimal Air Risks
Include restrictions, prohibitions, and Notice to Airmen (NOTAM).

Terrain Following
Do not exceed the maximum set flight height Above Ground Level.

people icon

Minimum Ground Risks
Population density, infrastructures such as roads, railways, antennas, and power lines.

house icon

Secure RTH (Return To Home)
In the event of a mission interruption.

compliance icon

Regulation Compliant
Adhere to local and national regulations.

battery icon

Minimal Energy Consumption
Choose the paths with minimal slope.

map icon

Re-compute Route
Take into account dynamic parameters like wind.

Challenges for Drones Operators

For drone operators, setting up a new operation zone for BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line Of Sight) route planning is often a manual process that involves using various open-source tools and map data. This manual process is:

cogwheel icon

Complex
Requires significant expertise and coordination among multiple stakeholders.

white alarm clock icon

Time Consuming
Extensive planning time and the use of multiple tools.

warning icon

Errors Prone
Increases the risk of mistakes due to the manual nature of the process.


Based on numerous conversations with operators, it can take up to three days to design a new route that complies with maximum permitted height above ground level while minimizing both ground and air risks. In addition, back-and-forth conversations with the civil aviation authority might lead to redefining new routes manually. The manual nature of this process makes it challenging to scale operations efficiently.
