Viasat: Connecting Safety and Standards for Advanced Air Mobility

As advanced air mobility (AAM) technologies like drones and eVTOLs (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft) take flight, the aviation industry faces a critical challenge: ensuring safety in an increasingly complex airspace. Viasat, a global leader in satellite communications, has stepped up to meet this challenge. Leveraging over three decades of expertise, the company aims to address critical gaps in aviation safety and standards through engagement and its Velaris solution that enables safe and reliable command-and-control (C2) links for AAM vehicles. Lisa Bee, Viasat’s Director of Air Traffic Services, recently shared her insights on the importance of aviation safety communications and shed light on the company’s pivotal role in shaping the future of AAM during a recent Dawn of Autonomy podcast interview.
