ANRA Technologies

ANRA Technologies makes airspace management and mission management software for drones and other uncrewed aircraft. It is headquartered in Washington, DC, with offices in London and New Delhi.

The company began in 2015 as an idea on a paper napkin. That idea became a garage prototype that won an award for the coolest technology at a show in Washington DC. Today ANRA works on a global scale. It says it ran the first commercial shared airspace flight in the United States.

Its airspace management tools include uncrewed traffic management (UTM) and U-space systems, common information services and automated operational risk assessments. It also offers safety apps for aviation authorities, tools for defense, security and public safety, and traffic management for eVTOL and advanced air mobility flights. The company says it supports regulatory advisory and rule-making committees as an expert, and leads some published standards in the field.

Its fleet and mission tools help operators run drone programmes. Mission Manager X plans, runs and tracks missions in real time. It offers automated flight planning, fleet management and a link to LAANC for instant airspace approvals. Other products cover operations centre management, drone-in-a-box management and drone delivery management. The delivery system handles orders, stock and product supply, and gives live tracking through a mobile app. A vertiport management system helps control access to airports and vertiports for increasingly autonomous aircraft.

ANRA serves airspace managers, defense and security groups, drone service providers, enterprise operators and eVTOL makers. It states that government agencies, commercial firms and international partners use its platforms.

The company holds ISO 27001 certification. It has offices in the EU, the UK and India as well as the United States. Its platforms have been tested by aviation authorities and run in several places around the world.
