"We input everything into a single pane of glass so you can visualise it and deconflict it on a single screen,” said Jayant Sachdev, Product Manager at Kongsberg Geospatial, describing how the Iris Terminal gives a full common operating picture of an airspace.
For operators scaling BVLOS drone missions, this level of situational awareness is critical. With its real-time mapping, multi-sensor fusion, and intelligent alerting system, Kongsberg Geospatial's Iris Terminal is helping drone teams fly safely, prove compliance, and build the future of automated UAS operations.
At CANSO's Airspace World 2025 in Lisbon, our Co-founder and CEO Eszter Kovács interviewed Jayant to explore how Kongsberg Geospatial is translating decades of defence-grade mapping expertise into scalable #airspace intelligence tools for the drone industry.
Whether you're overseeing complex droneflights or building a regulatory case for BVLOS approval, Iris Terminal offers unmatched real-time airspace visibility.
