Thales has been awarded a contract to deploy its TopSky – AstraUTM platform in Singapore. The system will streamline registration, flight planning, and real-time monitoring for unmanned aircraft. Working alongside local partner Deeeplabs, Thales aims to enhance situational awareness and safety for sectors including logistics, infrastructure, and urban mobility.
TopSky – AstraUTM integrates advanced flight management with digital regulatory services to support the entire lifecycle of drone operations. This platform enables key functions such as operator and drone registration, digital flight planning and authorisation, and real-time monitoring of drone operations. By enhancing situational awareness and automation, the system ensures efficient coordination of unmanned flights across Singapore’s airspace.
Thales will deliver the project as part of a consortium with Deeeplabs, a Singapore-based technology provider, which will support deployment and operational services. This collaboration combines global aviation expertise with strong local digital capabilities to support Singapore’s innovation and smart mobility goals.
The UTM system will play a key role in Singapore’s unmanned aircraft industry, supporting industries including logistics, infrastructure inspection, maritime operations, emergency response, and urban mobility. This contract further reinforces Thales’ leadership in Unmanned Air Traffic Management and Advanced Air Mobility solutions, following the integration of AstraUTM into its portfolio in 2024 and its subsequent deployment across multiple countries.
“We are honoured to support CAAS in shaping the future of Singapore’s unmanned aircraft landscape. By combining Thales’ globally proven UTM expertise with Deeeplabs’ local technological excellence, this programme will provide Singapore with a secure and scalable platform to enable safe and innovative drone operations.” Youzec Kurp, Vice President, Airspace Mobility Solutions, Thales.
“Deeeplabs is proud to partner with Thales and CAAS on this landmark programme for Singapore. By combining global aviation expertise with our strong local engineering capabilities, we look forward to supporting the deployment and operations of a world-class UTM platform that will enable the safe growth of Singapore’s drone ecosystem and industry.” Dex Lim, Managing Director, Deeeplabs.
