"Fly With Confidence"
Cloud platform that analyzes drone flight-log data for fleet management, maintenance, compliance, and crash prevention.
Airdata UAV is a California-based software company founded in 2015 (originally as HealthyDrones) by Eran Steiner, who began working with drones during military service. The company operates a cloud-based drone flight-data analytics and fleet-management platform that ingests flight logs from commercial drones and turns them into operational intelligence for safer, more reliable operations. Pilots and operators upload flights manually or automatically from a wide range of supported flight applications, including DJI GO 3 & 4, DJI Pilot, DJI Fly, DJI GS Pro, Autel Explorer, Parrot FreeFlight, DroneDeploy, Litchi, Pix4D, Skydio, and UgCS.
Core capabilities span flight analysis with 360-degree visibility into aircraft, battery, and mission health; proactive maintenance recommendations and service tracking; customized and regulatory compliance reporting; and configurable alerting with threshold-based notifications for early detection of performance anomalies and crash risk. The platform supports drones from manufacturers such as DJI, Autel (EVO II), and Parrot, including enterprise models like the DJI Matrice M300.
