Introducing ATOM for Airspace Authorities
Airspace Traffic Operations Management: Where others see complexity in airspace management, we build clarity for authorities who need to safely scale drone operations.
Regulatory authorities face an unprecedented challenge. Drone operations are exploding in volume and complexity, but traditional paper-based approval processes simply can't keep pace. What worked for dozens of operations can't handle thousands. What managed simple flights can't coordinate complex autonomous missions across multiple jurisdictions.
ATOM (Air Traffic Operations Management) – DroneUp's Digital Airspace Management platform – transforms how authorities oversee, coordinate, and manage safe autonomous airspace operations.
Moving Beyond Paper-Based Processes
Traditional airspace management relies on manual processes that create bottlenecks, limit visibility, and make coordination between agencies nearly impossible. ATOM provides regulatory-grade digital transformation that scales safely and efficiently.
The platform delivers three core capabilities that work together to create comprehensive airspace oversight:
Awareness: Complete Situational Understanding
ATOM provides real-time airspace situational understanding across all activities, creating a comprehensive operational picture through multi-source integration. Continuous monitoring and data-driven analytics give authorities the insights needed for informed decision-making.
Control: Coordinated Management and Automation
Digital approval workflows replace paper-based systems, enabling coordinated airspace management across multiple jurisdictions. Dynamic restrictions, real-time notifications, and scalable traffic coordination ensure safe, efficient operations.
Threat Mitigation: Proactive Safety Management
With complete awareness and coordinated control, threat mitigation becomes automatic. The system provides proactive risk identification, automated response protocols, and integrated Counter UAS capabilities – not as separate systems, but as natural derivatives of comprehensive airspace management.
Who Benefits & How
ATOM serves regulatory authorities at all levels who need to modernize their airspace oversight capabilities.
For Federal Authorities ATOM provides government-scale operations support with federal security requirements built-in. The platform enables coordinated management across agencies while maintaining secure data handling, role-based access controls, and comprehensive audit trails for compliance reporting.
For State and Local Authorities
Multi-jurisdictional coordination capabilities allow seamless information sharing and scalable deployment. State and local authorities get standardized interfaces for coordination while maintaining control over their specific operational requirements and regulatory frameworks.
For Tribal Authorities ATOM's flexible architecture supports tribal sovereignty while enabling coordination with other authority levels when needed. The platform respects jurisdictional boundaries while facilitating information sharing where appropriate.
Purpose-Built for Regulatory Use
What makes ATOM different is that it's designed from the ground up for regulatory requirements – not a commercial solution adapted for government use. This purpose-built approach ensures the platform meets authority needs for:
Government-grade security that meets federal standards
Multi-level authority coordination across federal, state, local, and tribal jurisdictions
Comprehensive regulatory compliance built into every workflow
Scalable architecture designed for government-scale operations from day one
Advanced Air Mobility Ready
As the airspace evolves, ATOM is built to support the future of autonomous flight operations. The platform enables safe scaling of Urban Air Mobility corridors, cargo operations, emergency services, infrastructure inspection, and public safety operations – all within existing and evolving regulatory frameworks.
Built on Operational Experience
ATOM isn't theoretical technology. It's built by teams with real-world airspace management experience who understand what actually works in regulatory environments. Years of hands-on UAS operations, including managing the largest drone delivery network in the U.S., inform every aspect of the platform's design.
This operational foundation ensures ATOM provides comprehensive integrated framework solutions rather than point solutions that create more complexity for authorities to manage.
Implementation & Integration
ATOM integrates with existing government systems while providing authority-specific training programs, regulatory compliance guidance, and ongoing operational support. The platform supports policy development and ensures authorities have the tools they need for effective digital transformation.
