Terra Drone Corporation, a drone and Urban Air Mobility (UAM) technology company headquartered in Japan, announced conducting Indonesia’s first demonstration of multi-drone operations utilizing an Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) platform, in the suburbs of Jakarta.

This event is part of the “Industrial Cooperation Programme in the Global South through Technology Transfer” (Project Name: Practicality Verification Project for UAS Traffic Management (UTM) in the Indonesian Market), supported by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI).

Indonesia has a growing demand for drone solutions in sectors such as infrastructure inspection, large-scale agriculture, and inter-island logistics. As one of the world’s largest oil and gas producers and home to expansive palm plantations, Indonesia requires advanced aerial management systems to ensure safe, efficient, and scalable drone operations.

With its established local subsidiary, Terra Drone Indonesia, the company is a provider of drone services in the region. Terra Drone is supported by its global UTM expertise through its group company Unifly, a UTM technology provider based in Belgium and Aloft Technologies, a FAA-approved UAS service provider in the United States.

By combining these global capabilities, Terra Drone have demonstrated how UTM can revolutionize airspace management in Indonesia, accelerating the commercial use of drones and laying the groundwork for future nationwide implementation.

Demonstration Highlights

The demonstration showcased the UTM platform’s capabilities and drones equipped with ADS-Band Remote ID to manage multiple drone operations in real-time under various scenarios:

• Agriculture: Demonstrating precision drone spraying for large-scale farming such as palm plantations.
• Logistics: Exploring drone delivery solutions for inter-island and remote logistics.
• Security & Monitoring: Enabling drone surveillance for infrastructure inspection and emergency response.
