New application gives public safety, enterprise and other drone operators greater awareness of nearby drone activity as low-altitude airspace becomes increasingly busy
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14, 2026 – ANRA Technologies, a leading provider of digital airspace and mission management solutions, today introduced ANRA VISTA (Visual Interface for Shared Traffic Awareness), a new application that gives public safety agencies, enterprise drone programs and other authorized operators greater awareness of nearby drone activity. VISTA presents available flight intent and position information from UAS Traffic Management (UTM) services through an easy-to-understand visual interface, helping operators make better-informed decisions before and during flight.
As drone delivery, Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs, infrastructure inspections and other commercial operations expand, more aircraft from different organizations are sharing the same low-altitude airspace. While UTM services coordinate these operations, drone operators may have limited awareness of nearby activity, particularly when those flights are managed by different organizations.
VISTA addresses this challenge by making shared UTM information accessible without requiring operators to change their existing aircraft or flight applications. The receive-only application does not connect aircraft to UTM or submit flight plans. Instead, it provides an additional layer of situational awareness that operators can consult before takeoff and while conducting missions.
“As more organizations operate drones in the same airspace, knowing what else may be flying nearby becomes increasingly important,” said Amit Ganjoo, founder and CEO of ANRA Technologies. “VISTA makes shared airspace information easier to access and understand without requiring operators to change how they fly. It’s a practical way to improve awareness as drone operations continue to scale.”
VISTA provides several capabilities for organizations operating in shared airspace:
Nearby operational awareness: View available information about drone flight intentions and reported positions around a mission area.
Simple airspace visualization: See shared operational information in a format operators can quickly interpret.
Preflight and in-flight awareness: Check relevant drone activity before launch and maintain awareness as a mission progresses.
Operational flexibility: Access shared airspace information without replacing aircraft, flight applications or existing operational systems.
For public safety agencies, VISTA can provide greater awareness of other drone operations near emergency scenes, helping DFR teams make informed decisions while responding to incidents. Utilities, infrastructure operators and commercial drone programs can use the application to gain additional visibility into activity around inspections, maintenance missions and other routine operations.
VISTA builds on ANRA’s experience supporting high-volume drone operations through its UTM platform, which currently supports approximately one drone mission every 15 seconds during daytime operations. More than 20 organizations, primarily DFR programs, already use ANRA’s visualization capability to improve awareness of drone activity in their operating areas.
VISTA presents information available through the UTM ecosystem and is intended to complement existing operational and safety procedures.
Organizations interested in ANRA VISTA can contact ANRA Technologies to schedule a demonstration.
