The partnership feeds low-altitude cooperative aircraft data from uAvionix’s FlightStation network into the Airwise Nexus platform for Skyway Range BVLOS operators.
uAvionix and Airwise Solutions announced a strategic partnership on August 18, 2026. The integration supports Skyway Range in Tulsa, Oklahoma. uAvionix FlightLine surveillance data flows into the Airwise platform and Nexus common operating picture. The combined stack targets Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations. It pairs low-altitude ADS-B surveillance with enterprise UTM capabilities.
FlightLine surveillance data
uAvionix FlightLine draws from the company’s nationwide FlightStation network. The network reports on both ADS-B frequencies at 978 MHz UAT and 1090 MHz ES. It detects cooperative aircraft flying at very low altitudes. Airwise integrates the data through a secure API. Operators receive deduplicated, low-latency cooperative aircraft data inside the Airwise platform. The setup removes the burden of deploying sensors or managing independent systems.
“Reliable surveillance data is the cornerstone of scalable autonomous aviation,” said Thomas Jimenez, Vice President of Uncrewed Systems at uAvionix. “By integrating FlightLine directly into the Airwise platform and Nexus COP, we are eliminating the burden of local sensor deployment while providing operators with trusted, FAA-grade airspace traffic data right out of the box.”
Skyway Range rollout and integration benefits
The integrated stack delivers real-time airspace awareness, low-latency deconfliction support, FlightStation health monitoring and simplified UTM deployment. It supports operators from single flights to nationwide enterprise programs. Skyway Range operates a 1,200-square-mile BVLOS flight test range in Oklahoma. The capability is available immediately for range participants and Airwise enterprise customers.
“As drone operations continue to grow in complexity, operators need more than individual software tools; they need trusted data delivered within a unified operational environment,” said John Powers, Chief Revenue Officer at Airwise Solutions. “Our partnership with uAvionix brings together industry-leading surveillance with Airwise’s enterprise drone operations platform and UTM capabilities, giving organizations the operational airspace awareness and confidence needed to safely expand advanced drone operations.”
“Airwise Solutions is a great partner, and this technology integration enhances their platform and our ecosystem at Skyway Range,” said Jason George, General Manager of Skyway Range. “We are building the future of aviation in the city of Tulsa and beyond. Having a world-renowned airspace data provider coupled with a local UTM provider sends a message to the region that this ecosystem produces world-class technology, not just world-class infrastructure.”

Integrating uAvionix FlightLine surveillance feeds with Airwise Nexus at Skyway Range could give Tulsa-based drone operations a much clearer real-time view of traffic and airspace activity. The partnership’s focus on connected data is especially relevant as test ranges become more active and complex.
Integrating uAvionix FlightLine surveillance data into Airwise Nexus at Skyway Range could give operators a much clearer real-time view of activity in the Tulsa airspace. It will be interesting to see how the August 18, 2026 partnership supports safer, more coordinated drone operations.
The integration of FlightLine’s surveillance data into Airwise Nexus at Skyway Range should give operators a much clearer picture of cooperative and non-cooperative traffic in the same airspace. Curious how the data latency holds up during high-density UAS operations in Tulsa — that will be the real test for BVLOS confidence.
The combination of FlightLine’s low-altitude ADS-B with Airwise Nexus is exactly what BVLOS needs—real-time surveillance feeding enterprise UTM, not just separate data silos. Testing this at Skyway Range will show whether the integrated stack can handle the transition from visual observers to full remote operations. Curious how the latency holds up across the entire feed chain.
The integration of uAvionix FlightLine surveillance into Airwise Nexus at Skyway Range is a solid step toward building the data backbone needed for scalable BVLOS operations. Having real-time traffic feeds directly in the operating picture should help operators move from reactive deconfliction to proactive mission planning.
The integration of FlightLine’s surveillance data into Airwise Nexus should give operators at Skyway Range a much cleaner picture of both cooperative and non-cooperative traffic — especially useful for BVLOS validation work. Curious whether the feed is pulling in just ADS-B/remote ID or also primary radar returns.
It’s exciting to see how the FlightLine data integration will enhance operational safety for BVLOS operators at Skyway Range. This partnership could set a new standard for low-altitude situational awareness. see here
