Platform
Multicopter or fixed-wing, which payload, which range? And what does that mean for maintenance and training?
UAS Systems
Technology is only good once it fits the operation
We plan drone systems starting from the operation: which platform and sensors you need, how the data reaches your team and whether a dock is worth it. That always includes the question of who operates the system and which authorisation it needs.
In brief
Blue Aviation develops technical concepts for drone operations: which platform and sensors fit the mission, how data reaches the team, whether dock operations make sense and can be authorised, and how other drones are detected. The starting point is always the mission, not the data sheet. We plan technology, training and operating procedures together.
Building blocks
Four building blocks of a drone system
Data flow
How do imagery, maps and situational information reach the people who work with them, and how is it documented?
Automation
Dock and remote control: what is technically possible, what needs authorisation and where the limits of the operation lie.
Detection
Detecting, classifying and reporting other drones in your own airspace.
Selection principle
We recommend what you need
The longest feature list is little help if the system is too complicated for everyday use. So we first ask who operates it, under what conditions and with what training. The recommendation follows from that.
Our yardstick
In the end, the result of the operation counts
A system fits when your team works with it without thinking about the technology.
Development
Research & development: the swarm system
Blue Aviation is working on its own swarm system. It is in development. If you are interested in a collaboration or a pilot project, get in touch.

Frequently asked questions
UAS systems in brief
How do I find the right drone for my operation?
Through the mission profile: what needs to be captured, under which conditions, how often and by whom? This determines platform, payload, range, maintenance effort and training needs. We assess systems along these questions rather than by the longest feature list.
What is a drone dock?
A stationary station from which a drone takes off, lands and charges automatically, controlled remotely. Because such flights are usually beyond visual line of sight, the operation generally requires an operational authorisation in the specific category. We help prepare it in our consulting.
What does drone detection mean?
Detecting, classifying and reporting drone activity in a defined airspace, for example above an industrial site or an event. A concept for it defines what should be detected, who is alerted and what happens next.
How does a systems conversation work?
You bring your use case and the constraints. We work out which technology fits, what is legally required and which training the team needs. Request a systems conversation.
What is the swarm system?
A research and development project by Blue Aviation. It is under development; we are open to early cooperation and pilot projects.
Technical question?
Which technology fits your operation?
Bring your use case. We tell you which technology fits, what is legally required and what training your team needs.
