Our Motivations
DELIVER A NET ZERO FUTURE
Drones offer meaningful solutions to address climate change that can be implemented NOW!
REDUCE OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
Drones provide a low carbon footprint reality now!
INCREASE VALUE PROPOSITION FOR
TRADITIONAL AVIATION OPERATIONS
Scaled use of drones replace and automate aerial activities for a net carbon reduction.
EMPOWER AIRSPACE FOR DRONES IN ALBERTA
Reference architectures and the iART Alliance ecosystem empowers BVLOS flight operations within commercially rich ecosystem.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK FOR INDUSTRY & GOV
Empowers both Public and Private sector use cases across industries.
Implementing the future of Federal Airspace regulations ensures alignment with Canada's national plan.
INNOVATION SANDBOX
RTM advantaged Airspace empowers economic development and creates jobs of the future.
...how will it be delivered?
Our Plans
01
CREATE ECOSYSTEM OF COLLABORATORS
The iART alliance provides the framework to assemble the necessary skills to enable the market
02
DEPLOY INFRASTRUCTURE AND OPERATE RTM AIRSPACES
Establish a network of
Command & Control (C2) and airspace surveillance infrastructure to support RTM services
03
BUILD CAPACITY THROUGH DEMONSTRATION
Conduct BVLOS flight operations in our 7 RTM airspaces to facilitate knowledge transfer to the ecosystem
04
GAIN REGULATORY APPROVAL FOR THE SYSTEM
Get RTM services approved and deliver the eight different reference architectures
THE GOAL:
Establish routine SAIL IV BVLOS flight operations
by implementing
RPAS Traffic Management (RTM) airspace overlays
using 7 Reference Architectures
for achieving regulatory approval in Alberta... and beyond.
SUB WORKING GROUPS
Used to exchange knowledge and build capacity.
PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES SWG
The Performance Objective SWG (PS-SWG) will be focused on the regulatory enablement of SAIL IV BVLOS flight operations.
ACADEMIC ALLIANCE
We are joining forces with Canada’s leading academic institutions in the drone research environment. These trusted technical disciplines will provide the quantitative analysis to qualify our reference architectures.
The Alliance includes:
RTM SERVICES SWG
The RTM SWG (RTM-SWG) will be focused on the enablement of RTM services & infrastructure to support the iART flight ops objectives/demonstrations.
FOCAL GROUP
The focal for this group will be led by:
FLIGHT OPS SWG
The Flight Ops SWG (FO-SWG) will focus on the execution of demonstration flights and establishing commercial BVLOS operations by leveraging the resources of the iART initiative.
FOCAL GROUPS
The focals for this group will be led by:
ALLIANCE MEMBERS
The iART Alliance is an evolving cohort of organizations that will refine the execution plans to address commercial opportunities.
