CIELUM

Cielum is a U-Space technology company that develops systems to manage low-altitude airspace for civil aviation and drone operations. The company specializes in creating protocols and technologies for coordinating crewed and uncrewed aircraft operations. Its platform features a volume reservation system that allows drone operators to reserve specific airspace corridors for certain time periods, making this information publicly available to all operators in the area. The system enables both strategic conflict avoidance, where pilots can review drone operations before takeoff, and works toward tactical conflict avoidance capabilities. Cielum's technology is designed to ensure safe drone operations, simplify regulatory compliance, and facilitate collaboration with aviation authorities.

Key customers and partnerships

In July 2023, Cielum partnered with Tacuarembó Hospital in Uruguay and RigiTech to launch Latin America's first Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone delivery operations for medical supplies. The company worked with NASA and the European Aviation Safety Administration (EASA) to develop technology bridging crewed and uncrewed aviation operations. The company has also served customers in agriculture, forestry, and construction industries by implementing drone operation workflows.
