About Altitude Angel

Altitude Angel is an aviation technology company founded in 2014 by Richard Parker, who serves as the CEO. The company is headquartered in Reading, UK, and has established a European base in the Netherlands to expand its international presence. Parker, a former senior technical consultant at Microsoft, started the company with the vision of safely integrating drones into the global airspace using cloud technology.

Read full description

The company provides Unified Traffic Management (UTM) solutions to enable the safe integration of unmanned aircraft, or drones, into global airspace. Its core product, the GuardianUTM platform, is an airspace management system that allows national aviation authorities, air navigation service providers (ANSPs), and enterprise clients to manage drone traffic. The platform provides real-time, safety-critical information, flight planning, and automated airspace access approvals. A key feature is its Conflict Resolution Service, which helps deconflict flight paths for both manned and unmanned aircraft. The company has also developed the ARROW technology, a ground-based detect-and-avoid (DAA) system that enables beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations by creating a high-resolution map of low-altitude airspace. This technology underpins the UK's first drone superhighway, a 165-mile corridor developed by a consortium led by Altitude Angel.

Altitude Angel's business model is centered on providing its technology through subscription-based services, API access for developers, and white-label solutions. Its clients include ANSPs like NATS in the UK and LVNL in the Netherlands, as well as airports, landowners, and commercial drone operators. The company has raised a total of $22.6 million over five funding rounds, with investors including Octopus Ventures, Seraphim Space Fund, British Telecom, and Frequentis AG.
