About
Avision is a market-proven airspace management and drone fleet operations platform designed for commercial enterprises, government agencies, and public safety organizations. As an FAA-approved LAANC (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) provider, Avision enables operators to obtain real-time airspace authorizations directly within its web and mobile applications. The platform consists of two core products: the Avision App, a web and mobile interface for day-to-day drone operations management, and Avision UTM, a U-space/USS (UAS Service Supplier) system compliant with EU regulation 2021/664, ISO 27001, ASTM standards, and other applicable regulations. Together, these tools support flight planning, B4UFLY advisories, weather alerts, remote identification, DJI Ground Control integration, and 3D flight simulation. Avision addresses several critical industry verticals. In Advanced Air Mobility, it provides strategic conflict management for air taxis, emergency transport, and large cargo UAS operations across the National Airspace System. For public safety, it supports police, fire departments, and first responders with fleet management and real-time video streaming. In airport security, it delivers a consolidated situational awareness dashboard integrating with detection technologies to protect towered airports, public events, and critical infrastructure. With its out-of-the-box integrations, scalable UTM services, and compliance with international standards, Avision is suited for drone service providers, logistics companies, government agencies, and enterprises looking to safely integrate UAS into complex operational workflows.

Pros
- FAA-Approved LAANC Provider: Being an FAA-approved LAANC provider ensures regulatory compliance and instant airspace authorization, which is critical for commercial and government drone operators in the US.
- Broad Regulatory Compliance: Compliance with EU regulation 2021/664, ISO 27001, and ASTM standards makes Avision viable for international operations and enterprise procurement requirements.
- Versatile Industry Coverage: Serves multiple verticals—advanced air mobility, public safety, logistics, and airport security—making it a flexible platform for diverse drone program types.
- Integrated Out-of-the-Box Solution: Combines fleet management, video streaming, airspace authorization, and UTM services in a single platform, reducing the need for multiple third-party tools.
Cons
- Niche Use Case: Avision is purpose-built for drone operations, making it irrelevant for organizations outside the UAS/drone industry.
- Pricing Not Fully Transparent: While a free sign-up tier is available, detailed pricing for advanced UTM and enterprise services is not publicly disclosed, requiring direct contact for quotes.
- Regulatory Complexity: Full utilization of UTM and airspace services requires operators to have FAA certifications and regulatory knowledge, raising the barrier to entry for new drone programs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is LAANC and how does Avision support it?
LAANC (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) is an FAA system that provides drone pilots with near real-time airspace authorizations below controlled airspace. Avision is an FAA-approved LAANC provider, meaning pilots can request and receive airspace authorizations directly within the Avision app without needing to use a separate FAA tool.
Is Avision available outside the United States?
Yes. Avision UTM supports U-space services compliant with EU regulation 2021/664, making it available for UAS operations in European airspace as well. The platform adheres to international standards including ISO 27001 and ASTM.
What industries does Avision serve?
Avision serves advanced air mobility operators (air taxis, cargo UAS), public safety agencies (police, fire, first responders), airport security teams, logistics companies, and other commercial and government drone program stakeholders.
Does Avision support DJI drones?
Yes. The Avision App includes DJI Ground Control integration, allowing operators of DJI drones to manage missions, monitor flights, and access airspace services directly within the platform.
Is there a free plan available?
Yes. Avision offers a free sign-up option to get started with the platform. Advanced features such as full UTM services and enterprise fleet management are available on paid plans. Pricing details for higher tiers are available through Avision's sales team.
