DroneUp

DroneUp is a technology company providing autonomous airspace management and unmanned aircraft system (UAS) operation solutions for both regulators and operators. The company delivers an open modular system that enables safe, coordinated, and scalable airspace operations through its core technologies: ATOMx, a universal layer that aligns authorizations, sensing, and policy coordination across operational domains with cryptographic identity and intent assurance, dynamic airspace rules, and threat mitigation; and Uncrew, an open autonomy platform that works with any drone, replacing manual piloting with safe, compliant, and scalable UAS operations through a single pane of glass for flight management. DroneUp streamlines complex FAA compliance into a simple partnership model, handling compliance, oversight, and technology requirements so operators can focus on business operations. The company team comprises veterans from military, law enforcement, special operations, and airspace policy. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Virginia Beach, United States, DroneUp has raised approximately million in a Series A round with backing from Walmart and the Center for Innovative Technology.
