Stratomaps addresses the challenge of finding the most optimal 3D drone routes by continually refining advanced navigation algorithms and integrating high-quality static and dynamic data for our customers' zones of operation

Stratomaps Navigation solution key benefits include:

More Secure Routes
‍Ensure safety and compliance.

More Efficient Planning
‍Reduce time and complexity. From days to seconds.

Real-Time Route Computation
‍Adjust for dynamic conditions like wind.

Secure RTH (Return to Home)
‍Provide reliable return-to-home paths instead of the straight line.

Improved Communication
‍Relying on trusted data and algorithms facilitates internal and external coordination.

By leveraging Stratomaps’ solutions, drone operators can overcome navigation planning challenges, enhance efficiency, and ensure the safety and reliability of their missions. Whether it's medical supply delivery, surveillance, infrastructure inspections, or other critical operations, our advanced route planning technology is here to support your success.

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:

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

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

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

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

Regulation Compliant
‍Adhere to local and national regulations.

Minimal Energy Consumption
‍Choose the paths with minimal slope.

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

Aircraft Specifications
‍Consider parameters such as pitch, yaw, speed, and glide.

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:

Complex
Requires significant expertise and coordination among multiple stakeholders.

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

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.
