At this year’s International Drone Show in Odense, Airolit and Carmenta demonstrated how advanced mission planning capabilities can be integrated into an existing UAV ecosystem without disrupting established operator workflows.
During the event, visitors were able to see Carmenta’s UAS Mission Kit integrated into the Airolit software ecosystem. The demonstration highlighted how tactical mission planning tools can be incorporated into operational UAV systems, providing enhanced situational awareness and decision support directly within a familiar environment.
The integration adds capabilities such as tactical route planning, radio propagation analysis and terrain-based concealment, supporting more informed mission planning and execution. Mission plans can then be transferred seamlessly into existing Ground Control Stations for validation and execution.
For Airolit, the collaboration demonstrates the value of an open and modular approach to UAV development.
“We develop UAV capability that can evolve alongside user needs. Integrating specialised tools from trusted partners is an important part of that approach, allowing operators to access new capabilities without changing the systems and workflows they already rely on,” says Claes Kjölhede, CEO of Airolit.
The integration also demonstrates how Nordic defence and technology companies can work together to develop operational UAV capability through interoperable solutions.
As demand for adaptable and mission-specific UAV systems continues to grow, partnerships between platform developers and software providers will play an increasingly important role in delivering capability that meets operational requirements.
