Skykraft and Niusky Pacific to change Papua New Guinea’s utilizing space-based innovation

Skykraft have actually signed a partnership arrangement with Niusky Pacific to establish functional treatments for executing a space-enabled Air Traffic Management (ATM) system over Papua New Guinea's domestic and oceanic Flight Information Region (FIR). This partnership marks a substantial development that will utilize innovative innovation to enhance security and functional effectiveness in among the world's most tough airspaces.

“Skykraft's space-enabled Air Traffic Management services will considerably improve security and performance throughout Papua New Guinea's airspace and eventually support the development of the air travel sector” – Graham Blythe, Managing Director of Niusky Pacific.

These space-enabled ATM services will be extremely useful to Niusky Pacific, offered its oceanic sector and domestic airspace over rugged and remote surface. The capability to interact with and track airplane throughout the whole FIR will improve functional security and accomplish substantial effectiveness, removing the requirement to set up and keep ground-based air traffic management facilities in remote and unwelcoming locations.

“Skykraft is delighted to work together with Niusky Pacific and are positive that our space-enabled Air Traffic Management services will provide genuine enhancements to the management of Papua New Guinea's airspace” – Dr Michael Frater, CEO of Skykraft.

By matching existing ground-based radio systems, for the very first time Skykraft's service will make it possible for smooth real-time interactions in between pilots and air traffic controllers through voice and information radio interactions in the VHF band. Skykraft's VHF interactions service is even more improved by a monitoring service that uses ADS-B position broadcasts from airplane, offering air traffic controllers with real-time information on airplane positions.

LONG-FORM QUOTES:

“Skykraft is thrilled to team up with Niusky Pacific and are positive that our space-enabled Air Traffic Management services will provide genuine enhancements to the management of Papua New Guinea's airspace” stated Dr Michael Frater, CEO of Skykraft. “Our ATM services will be offered for screening in 2025 and functional service in 2026. This service will bring considerable advantages to oceanic and remote areas, and will likewise enhance efficiency worldwide's most busy airspace.”

Graham Blythe, Managing Director of Niusky Pacific stated “Utilising Skykraft's space-enabled air traffic management services will substantially boost security and performance throughout Papua New Guinea's airspace. The schedule of space-enabled VHF and ADS-B innovation guarantees real-time, trusted interaction and tracking throughout PNG's difficult environment, eventually supporting the development of the air travel sector and improving general air traffic management. NiuSky is thrilled to team up with Skykraft in this transformative endeavour”.

Skykraft's Air Traffic Management Constellation

Skykraft remains in the procedure of developing a big (thick) constellation of satellites in low-earth orbit to offer worldwide air traffic management services from area, offering:

• VHF voice interactions.

• VHF information interactions.

• Security services utilizing ADS-B and UAT.

• Multi-lateration services for:

• recognition of ADS-B and UAT messages gotten from airplane, and
• independent airplane position information in case of GNSS failure.

In 2023, Skykraft effectively showed making use of space-enabled VHF, showing the expediency of direct interaction in between air traffic controllers and airplane utilizing their existing radios by means of satellites in area, and their preliminary constellation will get in service in 2025.

About Skykraft

Skykraft provides ATM services from area to serve the international market for air traffic security and interactions, particularly over remote and oceanic areas. Headquartered in Australia, Skykraft utilizes a little satellite method and devoted ATM facilities to provide services to Air Navigation Service Providers (ANPSs) worldwide.

Our ATM System offers an important service into the global air travel sector and will reset the efficiency and security expectations worldwide for space-enabled ATM.
