URSA’s Airspace Awareness and Near Mid Air Collision Analysis Platform (AAP-NMAC)
URSA’s Airspace Awareness and Near Mid Air Collision Analysis Platform (AAP-NMAC) is now publicly available. Previously, only the FAA had access to the platform and the valuable insights it offers. Now everyone – regulators, investigators, journalists, and manned aircraft operators -can see how drones are operating in the U.S. airspace and the risks they pose to manned aircraft.

AAP – Airspace Awareness Platform
The ever-increasing number of Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (UAV) within the national airspace creates a significant and growing risk to public safety.
URSA’s Airspace Awareness Platform now gives everyone the critical insights needed to monitor UAV activity and create safety and security – both on the ground and in the sky.

UAV Behavior Insights for Everyone
URSA’s Airspace Awareness Platform (AAP) now provides everyone with easily accessible, objective insight into the who, what, where, when, why and how of drone behavior.
Initially used exclusively by the FAA, URSA’s AAP is now available to regulators, investigators, journalists, and manned aircraft operators.
Analyze UAV Traffic Patterns, Trends, and Safety Risks
Via URSA’s intuitive self- service platform, URSA consulting, and integration with numerous other platforms, users can now access a wide array of insights regarding UAV activity and behavior.
AAP turns terabytes of raw data – from a variety of sources – into intuitive visualizations and provides the data needed for comprehensive analysis of traffic, trends, regulatory compliance, and safety risks.
Answer Critical Safety Questions Quickly and Easily
- Number of sUAS operating within and outside of Part 107 rules
- sUAS traffic evolution over time
- sUAS flight patterns and altitudes
- Estimated registration rates for sUAS
- Percentage of detected traffic not required to register with FAA and other regulatory bodies
- Actual and forecasted economic potential of drone tracks by location, across the NAS, and over time
- Continual improvements to safety and efficiency in UTM
- Traffic risks associated with sUAS operations
The ability to answer these questions, and many more, is now available to anyone via a self-service platform, consulting relationships, or via integration into other platforms.
URSA NMAC Analytics
Needed Insights To Prevent UAV Near Mid Air Collisions (NMAC)
What is the likelihood that a pilot will encounter a near mid air collision (NMAC) with an unmanned autonomous vehicle (UAV)?
NMACs may be the greatest risk UAV’s pose to public safety.
URSA’s NMAC analytics provides the insights needed to understand and prevent UAV NMAC’s. URSA’s NMAC analytics replaces subjective analysis with the objective data and visualizations needed to assess, understand, and act on problematic and unlawful UAV behavior.
Replace Subjective Assessments of Near Midair Collisions
URSA’s NMAC replaces subjective assessments of near mid air collisions with objective data and reporting.
Currently pilots, while in flight, visually identify and evade conflicting sUAS and then report estimates of range, altitude, and other associated flight information – with few to no tools for measurement or examination.
URSA’s NMAC provides comprehensive, court admissible, NMAC data sets, graphic representations and analytical capabilities – all designed to ensure safety in the sky and on the ground.
Analyze Terabytes of Airspace Data – From Multiple Sources
Vendor agnostic, AAP-NMAC fuses UAV track data with manned aircraft track data to clearly identify and categorize close approaches and near midair collisions.
Identify and Classify sUAS-aircraft Encounters and Trends:
- Areas of encounter risk
- Lateral and vertical encounter separation distances
- sUAS operator compliance with operational and altitude restrictions
Land use, weather, time of day, and various GIS layers relating to critical infrastructure enable comprehensive incident analysis.
Address Issues, Share Analysis, Take Decisive Action, Include the Public
URSA’s NMAC analytics provides objective data, visualizations, and output that simplify the analysis and communication needed for decisions, action, and public conversation.
URSA NMAC
- Map the location of all events
- Share location files (.CSV) regarding all involved aircraft with identifying characteristics
- Analyze facts associated with the incident in brief paragraph form
URSA simplifies the analysis and reporting process by providing key information that enables the rapid, accurate production of objective summaries.

Analysts access data and information within NMAC to quickly generate reports similar to:
During the month of August 2021 there were five near mid-air collision (NMAC) events
All five incidents had less than 1,000 feet of horizontal separation and two were within 500 feet horizontally
Three incidents involved commercial flights and two separate incidents involved the same Part 135 helicopter
Four of the five incidents occurred over public park
The UAV was in excess of 300 feet above the helicopter in one incident
