Aloft

Aloft provides an FAA approved airspace and fleet management platform for drone operations. It serves public safety teams and businesses. The site says Aloft is now part of Versaterm. The page does not state a head office.

The main product is Aloft Air Control. For enterprises, it keeps one data record for a whole drone fleet. It adds user management, reports, SOC2 and ISO27001 security, integrations and APIs. Individual drone pilots can use Air Control at no cost to apply for LAANC authorizations in near real time, check the airspace for safety advisories and plan missions with checklists and risk assessments. The site says it processes 85 percent of all monthly LAANC authorizations and has logged over 10 million flights.

Aloft Geo Portal lets government and airspace agencies submit local drone rules to the Aloft network, which includes the B4UFLY platform. The site says it holds over 10 million square miles of local data. Other products named are Air Aware, Enterprise UTM, Live Streaming and Remote ID. A developer API and a UTM SDK let others exchange data with Aloft.

The company says customers include energy, media, rail, infrastructure and insurance firms, and that its community logs flights on all seven continents. Founders are Jon Hegranes and Joshua Ziering. News items mention partnerships with uAvionix and UAS Sentry and comments on the FAA's BVLOS rules. The website has a contact sales form, a demo, a support page and careers.
