DJI Enterprise Official Announcement A general aviation pilot is on a VFR cross-country, descending through 1,500 feet towards a local aerodrome... Two kilometres ahead, a professional drone operator is conducting a site inspection... Neither can see the other. Today, that changes! Drones and manned aircraft have been sharing the same sky  for years, largely invisible to one another. A paramotor pilot on a ridge flight, a helicopter on a rescue approach, a glider in the circuit: none of them could see the professional drone operating 500 metres away, and the drone operator could not see them either. That is the problem this partnership is solving! SafeSky has spent years building the most comprehensive cooperative traffic network in aviation. With more than 30 traffic sources , this is covering every cooperative aircraft type: commercial, General Aviation, helicopter, glider, ultralight, paramotor, paraglider. With thousands of pilots already connected, it is the richest live traffic picture available  to anyone flying in the lower airspace. Until now, professional drones were largely absent from that picture.   Two worlds, one shared picture Starting today, SafeSky's Traffic Awareness platform is now integrated directly into DJI FlightHub 2 , the professional drone management platform used by the vast majority of enterprise drone operators worldwide. Drone operators see manned aviation. Manned aviation pilots see cooperative drones. Both sides, at once, in real time. That is a world first at this scale , since DJI Enterprise drones represents more than 70% of the market share. As a pilot, drones are now on your map in flight If you already fly with the SafeSky app, Air Navigation Pro, Easy VFR, Gaggle, Aero-Tracker, or any of the 15+ apps and hardware connected to the SafeSky network, you do not need to do anything . No new equipment, no software upgrade, no new subscription. Cooperative DJI FlightHub 2 drone positions will appear automatically on your traffic display in real time, alongside the rest of the SafeSky traffic picture. When one gets close, you will receive a traffic alert exactly as you would for any other cooperative aircraft. DJI FlightHub 2 showing up in SafeSky to crewed and uncrewed pilots DJI FlightHub 2 Drone Alert showing up on SafeSky App As a drone operator, you are no longer flying blind If you operate on DJI FlightHub 2 and subscribe to a SafeSky Enterprise Plan, live manned aviation traffic appears directly in your mission control interface when your dock connects. No separate application, no manual cross-check before takeoff and nothing for the rest of the flight: you will see cooperative helicopters, General Aviation aircraft, gliders, paramotors with configurable traffic alerts. SafeSky also connects operators beyond FlightHub 2. Whether you fly with a different ground control platform or use entirely different hardware, if you are connected to SafeSky, you share the same live traffic picture with every other operator on the network. For the first time, drone operators across different technologies and manufacturers can see each other in flight. SafeSky traffic integrated in DJI FlightHub 2 In Europe, this directly strengthens your SORA documentation. Getting a BVLOS authorisation requires demonstrating, for each Air Risk Class i n your Area of Operation, that you have the traffic awareness capability to detect and respond to manned aviation . SafeSky gives you a live, multi-source cooperative traffic picture across your ARC levels, with dynamic alerts and the operational records to support your submission to your National Aviation Authority. It does not replace the assessment itself, and authorisation remains at the discretion of your NAA. But it gives you documented, real-time traffic awareness capability built into your mission control platform, rather than something pieced together separately.

(Credit: Norwegian Peoples Aid) Addressing the Airspace Visibility Gap In the rugged, unforgiving terrain of Norway, search and rescue (SAR) operations are a race against time where every second counts. Drones have become an indispensable tool for organisations like Norwegian People's Aid (NPA) , providing critical aerial perspectives. However, the very geography that makes these drones so vital also creates a significant operational risk, a lack of electronic visibility . In narrow valleys and behind mountainous peaks, the challenge is clear, how can drone pilots and helicopter crews maintain a shared, accurate picture of the airspace to prevent a mid-air collision? The Challenge of Deconfliction Between Drones and Manned Aircraft The effective use of drones in SAR missions hinges on seamless deconfliction with manned aviation. The problem is twofold, drone operators often lack a reliable method to see incoming low-flying aircraft, while pilots of manned aircraft have had no way of electronically detecting the presence of small drones operating nearby. Terrain-Induced Signal Blackouts This issue is exacerbated in Norway's mountainous landscape. Conventional ground-based receivers for aviation signals require a clear line of sight. When a rescue operation takes place deep within a fjord or a remote valley, these signals are often blocked by the surrounding terrain, creating "signal blackouts." A helicopter could descend into a valley, completely unaware of a drone operating just kilometres away, introducing an unacceptable level of risk . A A drone ready for action amidst the challenging mountainous terrain of Norway, where manned aviation faces difficulties. (Credit: Norwegian Peoples Aid) A Collaborative Solution with SafeSky To solve this, NPA initiated a collaboration with SafeSky . SafeSky is already a trusted cornerstone of Norwegian aviation safety, widely utilized across the country by the Norwegian Air Ambulance, the Norwegian Police Drone Unit, and the general aviation community . By adopting a platform already integrated into the cockpits the aviation community, NPA ensures that their drone teams are speaking the "same language" as the pilots flying overhead. How the System Works This integration functions by merging live data streams: The drone’s real-time position is transmitted from its control system directly to SafeSky servers, requiring no additional hardware on the drone itself. Manned aircraft signals are captured by deploying a portable, vehicle-mounted Avionix open-air multitrack receiver at the rescue scene. The specific role of this receiver is to capture for signals transmitted by manned aircraft in the immediate vicinity. The Avionix receiver then feeds this local air traffic information into the Safesky network via an internet connection. A vehicle-mounted ground station operates in a rugged mountainous terrain, facilitating manned aviation reception as part of a search and rescue mission. (Credit: Norwegian Peoples Aid) A Shared Picture of the Airspace The SafeSky platform acts as the central hub , receiving both the drone’s position and the data from manned aircraft. This unified picture is displayed within the SafeSky platform for the drone pilot and is publicly visible for all other stakeholders utilising the SafeSky platform . By utilising a platform that is already widespread across Norway, NPA isn't just improving their own visibility, they are contributing to a safer, more transparent airspace for all emergency responders.

Strengthening Situational Awareness for Drone Operators and Aviation Pilots For all pilots, whether flying crewed or uncrewed aircraft, situational awareness is everything. Knowing who else is in the air, and where they are is not a “nice to have”; it is a prerequisite for safe operations. One year ago, SkeyDrone and SafeSky announced a strategic partnership enabling bidirectional data exchange between both platforms. The collaboration marked an important step towards improving airspace awareness and safety, as the skies become increasingly shared between crewed and uncrewed aircraft. One Integration, Two Outcomes: Safer Drone Flights and Stronger Site Protection Through this integration, SkeyDrone’s Traffic Information Service has been enriched with real-time traffic data from the SafeSky platform, including helicopters, gliders, paramotors, paragliders, trikes, and other aircraft. This directly improves situational awareness for drone operators, particularly when conducting missions beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) and especially in airspace where drones and crewed aircraft operate in close proximity. In parallel, through the SafeSky API, SkeyDrone’s drone detection solution now also displays drone flights in locations that fall outside the reach of the existing sensor network, including operations across the Dutch and Luxembourg borders. Over the past year alone, this integration has resulted in more than 3,250 additional drone flights being displayed in the SkeyDrone platform, flights that would otherwise have remained unseen . This expanded coverage is advantageous not only for drone operators flying BVLOS, but also for geozone and security managers utilising SkeyDrone to safeguard their sites from unauthorised drone activity. The SafeSky integration marks significant progress toward achieving comprehensive nationwide drone detection capability in Belgium. SkeyDrone’s Traffic Information Service enriched with data from SafeSky "Through this partnership, we support BVLOS drone operators dependent on our Traffic Information Service, while also empowering geozone and security managers who use SkeyDrone to protect critical sites from unauthorised drone activity. The integration with SafeSky represents a major step towards a complete, nationwide aerial picture in Belgium." Kristof Gilleman, Head of Operations at SkeyDrone Closing an Important Gap: What’s in It for Pilots? Traditional aviation surveillance systems, such as ADS-B, Mode S, FLARM, were never designed with widespread drone integration in mind. While many professional drone operations today are fully authorised and compliant, yet from a cockpit perspective they may remain non-cooperative . They do not broadcast their position via standard aviation protocols , making them invisible to conventional traffic awareness tools. For VFR pilots operating below controlled airspace, where helicopters, training aircraft, gliders, microlights, and drones increasingly share the same airspace volume, this creates uncertainty . And uncertainty, in aviation, is always a risk factor . By integrating drone detection outputs from SkeyDrone with the SafeSky APIs, SafeSky can provide live telemetry-based awareness of certain non-cooperative drone operations that would otherwise not appear on traditional aviation displays. And this is not about replacing “see and avoid”: It is about enhancing awareness in an environment where visual acquisition alone is no longer sufficient. The future of aviation depends on crewed and uncrewed aircraft sharing the sky safely. This partnership with SkeyDrone demonstrates how interoperability can turn that vision into practical awareness for everyday pilots. Tristan Fily, CEO at SafeSky SafeSky displaying drones traffic from SkeyDrone integration Looking Ahead — A Shared Vision for Connected Airspace Airspace is evolving. The lower altitudes are becoming more dynamic, more diverse, and more operationally demanding. What used to be a largely homogeneous traffic environment is now a mixed ecosystem of recreational pilots, professional drone operators, emergency services, aerial work missions, and new mobility concepts. In this context, safety increasingly depends on interoperability. The first year of operational data exchange between SkeyDrone and SafeSky demonstrates that bidirectional interoperability is not only technically feasible: it is operationally valuable . It enables visibility where it was previously limited. It reduces uncertainty where blind spots existed. And it lays the groundwork for a more unified airspace picture. Belgium may be geographically small, but collaborations like this show how local innovation can have international relevance . By connecting ecosystems rather than competing in isolation, SkeyDrone and SafeSky are contributing to a broader shift in aviation: from fragmented visibility to shared awareness. Both companies remain committed to expanding this cooperation, embracing cooperative and non-cooperative drone visibility , strengthening interoperability, and working with partners across the aviation and UAS community.
