Terra Drone Corporation, a leading Japanese drone, and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) technology company is pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Toshiba Infrastructure Systems & Solutions Corporation, a Toshiba Group company specializing in global infrastructure and Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) solutions. This agreement solidifies their commitment to expanding their UAS Traffic Management (UTM) and counter-drone businesses.
Terra Drone has developed ‘Terra UTM,’ an advanced UTM system designed to track drone locations under its supervision accurately. As drones become increasingly prevalent in daily operations, enhancing the value of these systems is crucial. Terra Drone has made significant strides in the UTM sector through strategic investments in two key companies: Unifly NV, a leading UTM technology provider in Belgium, and Aloft Technologies Inc., the U.S. market leader in UTM.
Terra Drone will collaborate technically with Toshiba, integrating Terra UTM with Toshiba’s C-UAS solutions. As the use of drones, especially in urban logistics, continues to grow, developing sophisticated systems to prevent collisions and unauthorized drone incursions is essential. Both companies are committed to establishing a society where drones operate safely and securely.
Toshiba Infrastructure Systems & Solutions Corporation specializes in C-UAS solutions, integrating sensors and response measures to detect and address suspicious drone activities. Utilizing advanced radar technology developed from various fields, the company is committed to protecting clients from new threats in the dynamic airspace environment. As novel services and values emerge in the sky, Toshiba Infrastructure Systems & Solutions Corporation is dedicated to ensuring air safety through cutting-edge technologies and services.
In July 2023, Terra Drone acquired a majority stake in Unifly, a global leader in UTM systems. Unifly has a proven track record, having implemented its system nationally in over eight countries. Terra Drone aims to develop comprehensive solutions for drones and Mobilidade aérea urbana (UAM), striving to create a digital infrastructure in the skies to unlock the full potential of air mobility.
