Skyward has introduced an information management solution for commercial unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators, the company announced on 9 September.

The cloud-based solution complies with regulatory requirements and integrates a UAV airspace map, which shows operators where to fly, with flight planning tools configured for specific requirements and a digital system of record to manage personnel, UAVs, and equipment.

The Skyward solution also features online storage for regulatory, insurance and operational documents, and support from regulatory and operational experts for approvals, compliance and reporting.

Jonathan Evans, CEO, Skyward, said: 'In the last year, I've seen the commercial drone market evolve rapidly, with over 1,400 FAA grants to date. Skyward gives those operators comprehensive tools to access the sky and meet their business objectives. Skyward is committed to powering the next generation of aviation.'

Kevin Gould, Hawk Aerial CEO, said: ‘Hawk Aerial needs a system to schedule, track and document our flight operations. Skyward is that system: comprehensive, easy to use, intuitive. Skyward allows us to conform to the requirements of our 333 and COAs, and also provides critical operating data to track performance and profitably run our business.'
