Aireon, GCAA to use ADS-B space-based technology to increase efficiency and safety in UAE airspace

 The General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) of the United Arab Emirates and Aireon, the world's top provider of space-based ADS-B data, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to study how Aireon's data can be used for real-time surveillance, aviation safety, air navigation capacity and efficiency, aviation security, and the promotion of aviation development, sustainability, and innovation.

The Agreement sets a framework for collaboration between GCAA and Aireon to further investigate the usage of Aireon's wide range of products, including the AireonINSIGHTS platform, GPS tracking, Aireon Locate search and rescue tool, and AireonFLOW air traffic management software, among others. The agreement also specifies chances for Aireon and GCAA to collaborate on defining the specifications for integrating Aireon data.

According to Don Thoma, CEO of Aireon, "The Aireon data contains a tremendous deal of promise to increase operating efficiency and safety for GCAA." The Aireon team is eager to show them the value of space-based ADS-B data.

"To guarantee the greatest standards of safety and service delivery in the airspace over the UAE, the GCAA has always been committed to updating its aviation infrastructure. The memorandum of the agreement demonstrates our dedication to collaborating with Aireon to look into how to integrate cutting-edge technological solutions into our operations. We are certain that this relationship will help us find opportunities to strengthen our capabilities and improve our services," Ahmed Al Jallaf, Associate Director General ANS, GCAA, remarked.
