The Italian Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) market is estimated to reach €1.8 billion by 2030, according to a research study conducted by PwC and presented at the Roma Drone Conference in November 2022. The research showed that, in Italy today, there are five main mission clusters, also known as use cases, that have been identified as key contributors to market expansion: (1) passenger transport, (2) goods transport, (3) image and data acquisition, (4) aerial work and (5) defence.This is in line with the findings of another study conducted by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which reported that Urban Air Mobility (UAM) services are currently gaining widespread public acceptance in Europe, with Italian cities leading the way. Two of the top ten European cities where the public most accept future drone transport methods are in Italy (Rome and Milan), which aligns the findings of both studies.However, the research has also highlighted a different fact, which is that Italy is currently at the beginning of unlocking this market potential. The ecosystem needs new organisations to step in and support governments to provide infrastructure that will allow these innovative new technologies to serve the people waiting for them. This is why Dimetor and Strada AI have entered into a collaboration to support the implementation of drone services at scale and enable commercial BVLOS operations by 2030, by supporting the commercial drone roadmap published by ENAC.STRADAai, an Italian organization pioneering a cutting-edge drone data network and a Patent Pending Enterprise Drone Planning Platform, is actively working towards establishing itself as a recognized U-space Service Provider (USSP). At the core of STRADAai’s offerings lies the robust Aloft Air Control Platform, developed by their official partner, Aloft Inc., known for their exceptional UTM platforms and drone technologies. With a strategic collaboration with Dimetor, STRADAai will leverage the AirborneRF software within their Enterprise Drone Planning to ensure pilot-drone connectivity by seamlessly connecting to the telecommunications infrastructure. This crucial partnership lays the foundation for Dimetor and STRADAai market launch in Italy.Once the system for the go-to-market strategy is established, the two organizations will begin offering BVLOS solutions to the drone market in Italy through the development and launch of a new integrated software that will function as a unified solution. The service will be offered to relevant authorities, telecommunications organisations, drone operators and digital infrastructure service providers for drones. Stakeholders of the partnership could be local representatives and actors directly involved in the drone ecosystem in Italy.The system will feature end-to-end data encryption to support use cases such as industrial inspections, precision agriculture, delivery, law enforcement, security and surveillance, and emergency response.Thomas Wana, CTO and co-founder of Dimetor, said, “The partnership will bring some of the most advanced software technologies on the market to Italy, enabling stakeholders to have end-to-end connectivity at a level rarely seen in the industry, which has the potential to make Italy one of the most technologically advanced drone industry players in the European Union.”“We are thrilled about our partnership with Dimetor for the Italian market. By synergizing Dimetor’s capabilities with our Enterprise Drone Planning Solution, we aim to deliver an integrated software system that empowers organizations to seamlessly manage all drone-related processes, from data handling and workflows to resource management and airspace safety. This collaboration marks a significant stride towards providing comprehensive UTM services throughout the EMEA region.” – Giulio Segurini, CEO and Co-founder of STRADAai.About DimetorDimetor is a software company that bridges the data gap between communications service providers (CSPs) and the aviation ecosystem.
