INVOLI, a specialist in cooperative air traffic surveillance solutions, has announced a partnership with MatrixSpace, known for their expertise in non-cooperative air traffic detection. This collaboration aims to enhance aviation safety by providing a comprehensive air traffic awareness solution through a unified platform.

The partnership combines INVOLI’s cooperative detection technology with MatrixSpace’s advanced non-cooperative detection capabilities, facilitated by their miniaturized primary radar technology. This integration allows for complete surveillance of both airborne and ground-based traffic, significantly enhancing drone detection, Counter Unmanned Aircraft System (CUAS) capabilities, and safety for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations.

INVOLI’s CEO, Manu Lubrano, emphasized the strategic benefit of the partnership, stating, “By merging our respective strengths, we are empowering our customers with comprehensive and seamless air traffic awareness, ultimately enhancing safety and efficiency in various operational contexts.”

MatrixSpace’s CRO, Lori DeMatteis, echoed the sentiment, highlighting the revolutionary potential of the partnership in the aviation industry, “Together, we are revolutionizing air traffic surveillance by providing a unified platform for detecting both cooperative and non-cooperative air traffic.”

The integrated solution is designed to be low in size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C), and can be deployed quickly without the need for additional infrastructure or specialist training. This makes it an ideal solution for a variety of applications, including surveillance of sensitive sites like prisons and energy infrastructure, as well as supporting safe and efficient BVLOS drone operations.
