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.”
