Software Features
3D Mission Planning in the Cloud – Add waypoints interactively and view the flight plan from any perspective. Rotate, change the view angle, tilt, view from the surface, and return to the orthogonal view right before finishing.
Adjust the waypoint’s position and altitude interactively to achieve the best mission planning user experience.
Flight Management and Analytics
Every flight log is stored in the cloud and accessible when needed. Detailed flight log analytics helps to ensure your vehicle’s best possible flight performance and detect potential issues before your customers or pilots know about this. Flight logs allow you to create a detailed history of all your drone operations and reach the bottom when needed. Constant flight log monitoring ensures safe and reliable operations for the whole fleet and each drone.
Artificial Intelligence Onboard
Advanced software combining cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence, sensor fusion, and camera platform controls to enable time-critical system autonomy. Seamless integration with unmanned platforms makes Fortifai by Vizgard the obvious component for our users in the threat and hazard detection sectors.
- Detection tracking
- Image enhancement
- Behavior prediction
- Distance estimation

Applications
Medical Delivery use case: Using drones, healthcare providers can deliver essential items like medicine and lab reports and even provide periodic inspections for safety purposes. Medical providers often must transport organs promptly, making traditional options like airplanes and cars impractical.
Project Alias: The UK Research and Innovation (Innovate UK) Future Flight Challenge Phase III program funds the project. It brings an integrated airspace solution to the Channel Islands, aiming to establish a rapid transportation network with drones between Guernsey and Jersey.
Sky-Drones technology provides cloud-based software for mission planning, a flight controller with an AI mission computer onboard the VTOL drone, and real-time connectivity via 5G and satcom for BVLOS flight operations. The project is conducted with consortium partners – Volant Autonomy, Dronecloud, Cambridge Sensors, Drone Defence, ANGOKA, TEKTowr, Digital Jersey, Ports of Jersey, and Skyports Drone Services.
