DIGITAL PLATFORM FOR DRONE REGULATIONS
Overview
The Drones Doing Good Alliance (DDG) is commissioning the design, development, and deployment of an Integrated Drone Hub to support regulatory oversight of drone operations by a national Civil Aviation Authority.
DDG invites qualified software development firms to submit proposals for this open and competitive tender.
The Integrated Drone Hub is a modular, production-grade digital platform supporting core regulatory functions, including:
​
-
drone and operator registration
-
Flight authorisation
-
risk assessment
-
flight monitoring
-
post-flight data management
-
training and certification support
​
This procurement seeks an experienced technical partner with demonstrated ability to deliver and maintain live, operational systems in public-sector or regulatory environments.
