Droneport Network And Wingbits Unveil Groundbreaking Platform To Unlock Airspace Intelligence For All
The Sky’s the Limit: Democratizing Access to Airspace Intelligence with Meerir and Wingbits
DronePort Network and Wingbits have joined forces to launch meerir, an AI-powered airspace intelligence platform designed to give smaller airports, city planners, and insurers access to real-time flight data previously available only to major aviation institutions. This innovative collaboration aims to revolutionize the way airspace is managed, making it more transparent, accessible, and secure for all stakeholders.
The lack of resources and expertise hinders their ability to effectively manage drones in their airspace, creating a significant challenge for safe integration. The complexity of airspace management is overwhelming smaller airports, city planners, and insurers, with 150,000 flights tracked daily through a community network of 4,500+ contributors.
meerir uses natural language queries and automated analytics to provide users with real-time insights into airspace activity. With this conversational AI system, users can request custom visualizations and receive historical aviation traffic data, aircraft activity heat maps, and airspace risk assessments within seconds. Wingbits’ comprehensive ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) data is seamlessly integrated into DronePort Network’s meerir platform.
The system rewards contributors with web3 tokens for sharing aviation data, creating a sustainable and secure ecosystem. Users can interact with meeri through conversational queries, asking questions in plain English to receive actionable insights. This user-friendly interface makes it easy for non-technical stakeholders to access airspace intelligence, reducing the barrier to entry for smaller airports and city planners.
The University of Montana is currently beta testing the integrated platform, with Jonathan Cordova from the university’s Autonomous Aerial Systems Office expressing enthusiasm about meeri. “meerir is a very exciting tool,” he said. “The ability to talk with aircraft traffic ADS-B data in real-time and soon see drone activity as well opens up tremendous opportunities for our projects here at the University of Montana.”
This collaboration represents a significant leap forward in the mission to build comprehensive infrastructure for the drone economy. By integrating Wingbits’ secure, community-driven flight tracking data into their meerir platform, DronePort Network is creating unprecedented visibility into airspace activity.
The integration positions both companies to support the FAA’s Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) initiatives and advanced air mobility readiness. This dual-use angle is particularly promising, as it offers a clear path forward for defense applications, potentially providing additional revenue streams.
Democratizing access to real-time flight data through an AI interface could accelerate safe drone integration in communities that lack dedicated aviation staff. The conversational AI approach is particularly smart for this use case. Instead of requiring users to learn complex aviation software, they can simply ask questions in plain English. This lowers the barrier to entry significantly, making it more accessible to a wider range of stakeholders.
DronePort and Wingbits’ collaboration marks a significant milestone in the evolution of airspace management. By harnessing the power of AI and data analytics, they’re creating a more transparent, secure, and efficient system for managing drones in urban and rural environments alike.
As drone operations continue to scale nationwide, tools like meeri may become essential infrastructure for managing increasingly complex low-altitude airspace. The potential applications are vast, from urban air mobility planning to insurance risk assessment, with the added benefit of dual-use technology supporting both civilian and military airspace needs.
