In a significant milestone for the Irish drone industry, A-techSYN, Ireland’s premier developer and manufacturer of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), has successfully obtained its latest UAS Operational Authorisation.

The Authorisation allows A-techSYN to perform SAIL-II Level operations over the Irish Waters, which is integral to ongoing projects such as the DTIF-GUARD, U-AVES and Mistrall.

A-techSYN CEO Gokhan CELIK, said “For the last decade, A-techSYN has been pioneering the integration and implementation of specific category UAS. We believe that progress can only be made by applying ideas in live situations, obtaining feedback from the field and refining the solution. This means that you need to be able to fly repetitively. With this authorisation, we will be able to test the use cases we believe to be critical for implementing Drone technologies and gather the much desired data in a much faster way.”

The authorisation process, meticulously overseen by the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) UAS Division and the Airspace Regulation Department, is a testament to the rigorous standards A-techSYN adheres to. The IAA, Irelands semi-state body responsible for the regulation of safety in Irish civil aviation, has played a crucial role in this success.
