High Lander Aviation
High Lander was established by aviation veterans and technology experts with a dream: the safe and effective integration of UAS into airspaces worldwide. The company is achieving this with two scalable, software-only solutions. The first is Orion DFM, a hardware-agnostic platform for creating, managing, and automating UAS missions for any application and at any scale. The second is Vega UTM, a next-generation UAS traffic management platform that provides airspace authorities with the tools they need to maintain strict standards of safety in increasingly crowded skies.

About Us
Aviation is evolving. A new generation of aircraft has opened the sky up to more people than ever before, and High Lander was created by veterans of aviation and technology to guide this evolution. We empower people to take advantage of a world of new opportunities while maintaining strict standards of safety in our increasingly crowded skies.
We’ve created software solutions that set a global standard for drone fleet management and consolidated airspace control. They enable anyone to begin using drones at a professional level, while creating a U-space where crewed and uncrewed aerial vehicles can operate together in harmony.
UAV technology has opened the possibilities of flight to everyone for the first time in history, and there are already millions of drones in the air. These machines have taken on roles with emergency services, in private and state security, delivery services, construction and mapping, agriculture, conservation, advanced air mobility… the list goes on and more uses are being discovered every day. High Lander’s talented team of military veterans, aviation professionals, and technology experts have created solutions that enable anyone to use these incredible machines easily and safely, while providing authorities with the tools to manage all this new air traffic safely.
Relevant Challenges
Autonomous Systems
Focuses on systems that enable vehicles to independently navigate and make decisions in real-time, without human intervention, including technologies for sensors for perception, mapping, navigating, edge computing, operating systems, or simulation and testing tools.
Fleet Management
Involves overseeing and coordinating the operations of a fleet of vehicles to maximize efficiency, reduce costs, enhance safety and ensure optimal performance.
Urban Spaces
Focuses on safety in urban spaces prioritizes safeguarding all users within urban environments by addressing accident prevention and risks associated with dense, mixed-use spaces that include vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and public transit.
