NUAIR to Partner with South Korean Drone Company

Jan. 25, 2022

Northeast UAS Airspace Integration Research Alliance Inc., or NUAIR, will collaborate with a South Korean company on drone-delivery solutions, NUAIR announced Monday.

NUAIR and PABLO AIR have signed a memorandum of understanding to help develop regulatory compliant commercial drone solutions for United States clients, according to the statement.

PABLO AIR will utilize NUAIR's expertise in advanced commercial drone operations to align PABLO AIR systems to U.S. business models and practices that are compliant with Federal Aviation Administration regulations.

"PABLO AIR has successful conducted maritime drone flights at Incheon International Airport, South Korea which integrated both Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) and Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems, a key component in keeping the airways safe," said NUAIR CEO Ken Stewart in a statement. "This cross-country collaboration to safely integrate uncrewed aircraft into the national airspace will help unlock the true potential of commercial drone operations."

PABLO AIR systems provide complete solutions for multiple UAS use-cases including package delivery, linear inspection and public service. PABLO AIR initially will focus on conducting long-range beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) commercial drone operations in the U.S. market and is collaborating with NUAIR towards BVLOS permission for PABLO AIR to conduct high value, time-critical cargo delivery within New York's 50-Mile Drone Corridor.

"This MOU, held at NUAIR headquarters in Syracuse, is the first local collaboration since last year when we secured exclusive rights with EVA to conduct Proof of Concept (PoC) drone deliveries in New York, discussing various collaboration measures necessary to expand business and R&D in the United States," said PABLO AIR CEO Kim Young-Joon in a statement.
