Airwayz

Airwayz is a technology company that builds software to manage and protect airspace. Its main product is OVERWATCH, a platform for airspace control and governance. The company says it combines planning, detection, threat response and dynamic airspace control in one source of truth.

Airwayz says the problem is that airspace is shared by many users. Authorized commercial flights, critical sites and hostile aircraft all use the same space. Old methods force a choice to lock everything down or accept risk. The company says OVERWATCH removes that tradeoff by separating authorized traffic from hostile traffic. Commercial flights can then continue during a threat response.

OVERWATCH works as a command and control layer between detection and decision. Sensors feed data directly into the platform. Teams can see, control and act from one screen. Agencies at federal, state and local level, along with military and emergency teams, can share a single operational picture. The platform handles aircraft in the air, at sea and on the ground.

The platform also supports planning and practice. The company describes AI-assisted mission design that uses plain language. Users can run joint simulations, rehearsals and red-teaming, which means testing a plan against a simulated attacker. Scenarios can be tuned for coverage and budget. Sensors, effectors and procedures can be checked before a real event.

Airwayz lists its customers as organizations in security, defense, aviation, commercial work and critical infrastructure. Example sites include airports, ports, data centers, nuclear plants and oil and gas facilities. The website says the Miami Police Department used Airwayz to govern and control airspace during the FIFA World Cup. The company reports deployments in the United States, Europe and the Middle East.

The platform is listed as SAPIENT certified by NATO and compliant with ASTERIX. The company says its leaders ran airspace before they built software for it.

Airwayz was founded in 2019 by Air Force veterans with experience in air traffic management and command and control. It has offices in Tel Aviv, Israel, Amstelveen in the Netherlands, and Lexington, Massachusetts. The website invites visitors to request a demonstration of OVERWATCH.
