Activating Low Altitude Airspace

The Next Era of Autopilot Drone Technology

Birdstop specializes in Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations.

Birdstop developed cutting edge optical and acoustic airspace monitoring technology under guidance from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Using cost-effective detect and avoid to mitigate airspace risk, Birdstop has obtained 7 of the leading waivers for operating drones remotely and 2 additional approvals for operating in controlled airspace.

What We Do

Birdstop provides on-schedule and on-demand air support using automated drone systems

Made possible by its recent breakthroughs in FAA approvals and AI technology, Birdstop’s drone constellations operate in a fully automated mode without personnel onsite.

Each drone remains on active standby in its perch and springs into action when called upon or triggered.

Birdstop supports all clients through the entire FAA process by default. This is not an additional service, this is just part of working with Birdstop.

Each Birdstop deployment features a finely tuned detect-and-avoid system to meet FAA airspace risk standards.

Birdstop systems use proprietary optical and acoustic methods to detect, classify, and localize objects in the low sky in real-time. Birdstop provides a cost effective air surveillance network as a complement or alternative to radar-based methods. Each Birdstop sensor tower mounts at a high location to passively monitor for up to 2 miles in radius. Overlapping sensor towers significantly increase localization accuracy through multi-lateration.

Birdstop airspace intelligence is actively used by critical infrastructure facilities and public safety agencies. Birdstop is also used by airports and governmental aviation authorities across the United States and Europe.

The data pipeline is fully encrypted and has passed stringent security reviews by government and Fortune 500 clients. Birdstop can be deployed standalone or integrated with existing surveillance and airspace monitoring systems.

Who We Are

We are data scientists and engineers.

The Birdstop team is brought together by a vision of pioneering the safe and scalable opening of low altitude airspace - the sliver of sky right above our heads. The group draws on past careers from Google Loon, Earth Institute, Drone Volt, US Air Force, and NASA with experience collecting data using a multitude of terrestrial and aerial technologies.
