The world’s first airspace system built on AI and blockchain

Our story

By 2018, advancements in drones, air taxis, and other unmanned aircraft were underway. But the industry lacked a comprehensive system to safely integrate unmanned flights in shared airspace and execute autonomous operations at scale.

Boeing, an aviation pioneer, and SparkCognition, an AI innovator, joined forces to fill this gap with SkyGrid. Together, we’re enabling a smarter airspace management system to fill gaps unaccounted for in traditional UTM solutions.

What sets us apart

What sets us apart

Backed by Boeing, the world’s largest aerospace company, we have more than 100 years of experience navigating the global airspace.
We show the most complete operating picture of the sky and the ground below with global data feeds from industry-trusted sources.

Powered by SparkCognition’s AI technology, we enhance airspace safety and security by automating UAV flights, blocking malicious activity, and predicting drone maintenance.

Our system eliminates the manual workflows, enabling drone operators to autonomously execute optimal flights and allowing authorities to automatically mandate the airspace rules.

As the only airspace system built on blockchain technology, we enable real-time transparency into all unmanned flights and provide secure, accurate audit trails.
