Transport Canada and NAV Canada have selected a consortium to conduct Phase 2 trials of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) Traffic Management (RTM). The consortium, led by AeroVision Canada, includes principal partners ANRA Technologies and ClearSky Connect.

The Phase 2 effort aims to refine and evaluate requirements for RTM services that will enable future commercial RPAS operations in suburban environments. This phase follows the completion of Phase 1 in 2022, which "provided many observations to advance RTM in Canada and inform the aims of future RTM activities."

Trevor Bergman, CEO of AeroVision Canada, stated, “We assembled a team that will provide technologies to advance the development of performance and safety assurance requirements identified in the Transport Canada and NAV Canada Concept of Operations. Our team will deliver services that are key to establishing an RTM system for Canada, starting in the Halifax region, and has the support of local government.”

Alan Chapman, co-chair of the Trials Executive Steering Committee (TESC) and Director of RPAS Traffic Management at NAV Canada, commented, “The second phase of trials will offer crucial experiential learning for the development of the Canadian RPAS Traffic Management system, enhancing the safe integration of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems. Integrating third-party services and capabilities with NAV Canada’s centralized services will ensure airspace safety while collaboratively advancing new use cases, including those that require Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations.”
