Avision is an airspace infrastructure platform for drone operations. It supports authorization, coordination, situational awareness, and regulatory compliance for commercial, public safety, and advanced air mobility operators. If you need to fly drones legally and safely at scale—especially beyond visual line of sight or in controlled airspace—Avision provides the software layer that connects your operations to the national airspace system.

Core Capabilities

Avision's platform is built around four functional areas:

• Flight authorization – FAA-approved services for LAANC (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) flight authorizations, including further coordination when a flight cannot be approved automatically.
• Airspace awareness – Advisory information on TFRs (Temporary Flight Restrictions) and NOTAMs (Notices to Air Missions), plus B4UFLY airspace awareness.
• Airspace coordination – Avision UTM / U-space delivers coordination and prioritization capabilities required to safely integrate drones into the national airspace.
• Operational compliance – Tools that support regulatory compliance for commercial, recreational, and public safety operators.

These capabilities are delivered through two main product lines: FAA Services and Avision UTM.

FAA Services

The FAA Services component provides FAA-approved services that support:

• B4UFLY airspace awareness
• LAANC flight authorizations
• Operational compliance for commercial, recreational, and public safety operators

Specific features include:

The LAANC API Access is particularly relevant if you are building a fleet management or mission planning tool and want to embed authorization directly into your workflow rather than using a separate portal.

Avision UTM

Avision UTM / U-space is the airspace coordination and prioritization layer. It is designed to safely integrate drones into the national airspace and enable scalable commercial, public safety, and advanced air mobility operations.

UTM (Unmanned Traffic Management) is not the same as traditional air traffic control. It focuses on:

• Strategic conflict management
• Airspace coordination between multiple operators
• Prioritization when airspace demand exceeds capacity

This matters when you are operating multiple aircraft, flying in shared airspace, or coordinating with other stakeholders such as airports or event organizers.

Industry Solutions

Avision packages its platform for specific operational contexts:

Advanced Air Mobility

Strategic conflict management and essential services for air taxi, emergency transportation, and large UAS operations such as cargo aircraft flying longer distances through the NAS.

Public Safety

Fleet operations management, real-time video streaming, and remote identification for police, fire, and first responders.

Airport Security

Avision UTM integrates with other detection technologies to provide a consolidated situational awareness dashboard for towered airports, public outdoor events, and critical infrastructure.

Last-Mile Logistics

Avision describes a fully integrated out-of-the-box solution for last-mile logistics. Stan Khlevner, Co-founder & COO of Remote Optix and an FAA-certified remote pilot, states: "Avision demonstrates a fully integrated out-of-the-box solution for last-mile logistics. For additional safety and operational visibility, we utilize Avision UTM."

Who Should Consider Avision

Avision is relevant if you are:

• A commercial drone operator needing LAANC authorizations and compliance tracking
• A public safety agency managing a drone fleet with real-time video and remote ID requirements
• An advanced air mobility operator needing strategic conflict management
• An airport or critical infrastructure operator requiring a consolidated airspace awareness dashboard
• A developer wanting to integrate LAANC authorization via API into your own platform

If you are a recreational flyer looking only for basic airspace awareness, the FAA's free B4UFLY app may be sufficient. Avision's value becomes clearer when you need fleet operations, coordination across multiple aircraft or agencies, or programmatic integration.

Getting Started

Avision offers a free sign-up on its website. Pricing details are available on a dedicated pricing page, though specific rates are not listed in the available information. For operators with existing systems, the LAANC API Access is the most direct integration path. For those needing a full operational dashboard, Avision UTM provides the coordination and situational awareness layer.

Avision UTM is the uncrewed traffic management (UTM) and U-space layer of the Avision platform, built to deliver the airspace coordination and prioritization capabilities needed to integrate drones into the national airspace safely and at scale. It is aimed at commercial operators, public safety agencies, and advanced air mobility (AAM) stakeholders who need more than a single-flight authorization — they need ongoing coordination across many aircraft, users, and airspace constraints.

What Avision UTM actually does

The core function is airspace coordination and prioritization. Rather than treating each drone flight in isolation, a UTM system manages how multiple operations share the same airspace, who gets priority, and how conflicts are surfaced before they become safety problems. Avision describes its UTM/U-space product as providing exactly these capabilities to support scalable commercial, public safety, and advanced air mobility operations.

This sits alongside Avision's FAA-facing services, which handle the regulatory and awareness side:

• Airspace awareness — advisory information, TFRs, and NOTAMs
• Flight authorization — LAANC-based authorizations
• Further coordination — for operations that need more than a standard LAANC approval
• LAANC API access — programmatic integration for operators and developers

The FAA services answer "am I allowed to fly here, now?" The UTM layer answers the harder operational question: "how do many flights coexist safely and predictably?"

How it supports coordination across operation types

Avision positions the UTM product around three main use cases, each with different coordination demands:

The common thread is situational awareness plus coordination. For AAM, that means strategic conflict management for high-value or long-range flights. For public safety, it means managing a fleet and streaming video while maintaining remote ID. For airports and critical sites, it means fusing UTM data with detection systems into one dashboard.

Why "strategic conflict management" matters

Strategic conflict management is the piece that distinguishes a UTM from a simple authorization tool. Instead of resolving conflicts in the moment, it addresses them at the planning stage — deconflicting routes, timing, and priorities before aircraft are airborne. This is what makes scalable operations possible: as flight volume grows, tactical, last-second deconfliction does not scale, but strategic planning does.

A concrete example: an operator running last-mile logistics alongside an emergency medical drone corridor needs to know which flight yields and when. Strategic conflict management sets those rules in advance so both operations can proceed without ad hoc negotiation.

Evidence from operators

Avision cites Remote Optix co-founder and COO Stan Khlevner, an FAA-certified remote pilot, describing the platform as "a fully integrated out-of-the-box solution for last-mile logistics," adding that they use Avision UTM for "additional safety and operational visibility." That reflects the practical value proposition: integration and visibility, not just compliance.

Who should consider it

Avision UTM is most relevant if you:

• Operate multiple drones or a fleet and need coordination beyond per-flight authorizations
• Run public safety or first-responder operations requiring fleet management, video streaming, and remote ID
• Work in advanced air mobility, including air taxi, emergency transport, or large cargo UAS
• Manage a towered airport, public event, or critical infrastructure site needing a consolidated airspace picture

If you only need occasional single-flight LAANC authorizations, the FAA services layer may be sufficient on its own. The UTM layer earns its place when coordination, prioritization, and situational awareness across many operations become the bottleneck.

Avision offers a free sign-up to start, and pricing details are available on its pricing page.

Avision offers FAA-approved services that cover airspace awareness, flight authorization, and operational compliance for commercial, recreational, and public safety drone operators. The specific FAA-facing capabilities listed on its platform are B4UFLY airspace awareness, LAANC flight authorizations, advisory information on TFRs and NOTAMs, further coordination, and LAANC API access. These are the services to evaluate if your question is whether Avision can handle the FAA side of a drone operation rather than only fleet tracking.

The FAA service set

Avision groups its FAA services under a single heading on its site, described as "FAA-approved services supporting B4UFLY airspace awareness, LAANC flight authorizations, and operational compliance for commercial, recreational, and public safety operators." The individual items listed are:

• Airspace Awareness — knowing what airspace you are operating in or near.
• Advisory Information — TFRs and NOTAMs surfaced as advisories.
• Flight Authorization — the authorization step itself.
• Further Coordination — the follow-on coordination path when a request is not resolved by standard authorization.
• LAANC API Access — programmatic access to LAANC rather than only a manual workflow.

What each item means in practice

B4UFLY airspace awareness

B4UFLY is the FAA's airspace awareness tool for drone operators. Avision lists it as a supported service, which means the platform is positioned to tell an operator whether a location is controlled airspace, restricted, or otherwise constrained before a flight. For a commercial operator planning recurring routes, this is the pre-flight check layer.

LAANC flight authorizations

LAANC (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) is the FAA path for getting authorization to fly in controlled airspace. Avision lists LAANC flight authorizations as a service, so the authorization request and approval flow sits inside the platform rather than in a separate tool. This matters most for operators who fly in controlled airspace regularly and need authorization turnaround tied to a specific flight.

TFRs and NOTAMs as advisory information

Temporary Flight Restrictions and Notices to Air Missions change on short notice. Avision lists "Advisory Information — TFRs and NOTAMs," which is the layer that flags time-sensitive restrictions that could invalidate an otherwise authorized flight. Treat this as a check you still perform close to flight time, not a one-time setup.

Further coordination

"Further Coordination" is the step that applies when a flight cannot be handled by standard LAANC authorization and needs additional back-and-forth. If your operation involves altitudes, locations, or volumes that fall outside standard LAANC processing, this is the relevant capability to confirm with Avision directly.

LAANC API access

LAANC API access means authorization can be requested programmatically instead of through a manual interface. This is the item that matters if you are integrating authorization into your own flight planning or fleet software rather than using Avision's interface alone.

How this fits the rest of the platform

These FAA services sit alongside Avision UTM / U-space, which the site describes as delivering "airspace coordination and prioritization capabilities required to safely integrate drones into the national airspace." The FAA services handle the authorization and awareness layer; the UTM layer handles coordination across operators and priorities. Industry solutions listed include Advanced Air Mobility, Public Safety, and Airport Security, with fleet operations management, real-time video streaming, and remote identification named for public safety use.

What to verify before relying on it

The site lists these as FAA-approved services, but it does not publish per-service eligibility rules, coverage limits, or processing times. Before committing an operation to the platform, confirm directly:

• Whether your specific airspace and altitude profile is handled by standard LAANC authorization or requires further coordination.
• What LAANC API access requires on your side (credentials, integration work, account type).
• Whether B4UFLY awareness and TFR/NOTAM advisories are delivered in the interface, via API, or both.
• Whether your operator category — commercial, recreational, or public safety — changes what you can access.

Avision offers a free sign-up ("Sign Up Free"), and a separate pricing page exists at avision.io/pricing; the site does not state which services are included at no cost versus paid, so check that page or ask directly rather than assuming the FAA services are free.

Avision offers three named industry solutions for drone operations: Advanced Air Mobility, Public Safety, and Airport Security. Each targets a different type of operator and a different operational problem, so the right fit depends on whether you fly long-range cargo or air taxi missions, run emergency-response drone fleets, or need consolidated airspace awareness over a fixed site such as an airport or critical infrastructure.

Advanced Air Mobility

This solution is aimed at operators running air taxi, emergency transportation, and large UAS operations — including cargo aircraft that fly longer distances through the National Airspace System (NAS).

The core capability Avision describes here is strategic conflict management, alongside other essential services for integrating these larger, longer-range operations into the NAS. If your operation involves aircraft that travel beyond visual line of sight over extended routes, this is the relevant solution rather than the public safety or airport offerings.

Public Safety

Avision's public safety solution is built for police, fire, and first responders who use drones for life-saving work nationwide. The platform supports this through:

• Fleet operations management — coordinating multiple drones and crews
• Real-time video streaming — feeding live aerial footage to decision-makers
• Remote identification — supporting identification and tracking requirements

If your agency needs to manage several aircraft at once during an incident and share what they see in real time, this is the matching solution.

Airport Security

For towered airports, public outdoor events, and critical infrastructure, Avision positions its UTM product as part of a consolidated situational awareness dashboard, integrated with other detection technologies.

The distinguishing feature here is integration: rather than a standalone drone tool, this solution combines Avision UTM with third-party detection systems so a single dashboard shows what is happening in the surrounding airspace. This suits fixed-site security operators who need to detect and monitor unauthorized or unknown drone activity, not just fly their own aircraft.

Comparing the Three Solutions

How to Choose

• You fly long-distance or passenger/cargo missions → Advanced Air Mobility.
• You are an emergency-response agency flying your own drones → Public Safety.
• You protect a fixed site and need to see other people's drones → Airport Security.

These solutions sit on top of Avision's underlying FAA services (B4UFLY airspace awareness, LAANC flight authorizations, and operational compliance) and its UTM/U-space coordination layer, so the industry solution you pick determines the workflow, while the FAA and UTM services provide the regulatory and coordination foundation. Avision's site lists a pricing page and a free sign-up option; check those directly for current terms before committing to a specific solution.

You can get started with Avision by signing up for a free account on avision.io and then choosing the service tier that matches your operation — FAA airspace awareness and authorization tools, or the full Avision UTM / U-space platform. The site presents a "Sign Up Free" entry point and a separate Pricing page, so the practical path is: create an account, review pricing, then activate the FAA services or UTM capabilities you need.

Step 1: Create your account

Go to avision.io and use the Sign Up Free call to action on the homepage. This is the entry point the site itself offers for new operators.

Before you sign up, it helps to know which category you fall into, because Avision organizes its offering around three operator types:

• Commercial operators — routine drone flights that need authorization and compliance support
• Public safety — police, fire, and first responders running fleet operations, real-time video, and remote identification
• Government and advanced air mobility — larger UAS, cargo aircraft, and air taxi operations

Knowing your category tells you which parts of the platform to set up first.

Step 2: Review pricing before committing

Avision lists a dedicated Pricing page at avision.io/pricing/. Check it before you build out your operation, since the services you enable (FAA service access, UTM features, fleet management) may sit at different tiers. The site does not publish plan details on the homepage, so the pricing page is the place to confirm what applies to you.

Step 3: Choose your starting capability

Avision's platform splits into two layers. Most operators start with the first and add the second as they scale.

Start with FAA Services (airspace awareness and authorization)

This layer covers the regulatory basics of flying:

• Airspace awareness — advisory information on airspace status
• TFRs and NOTAMs — temporary flight restrictions and notices to airmen
• Flight authorization — LAANC-based authorization requests
• Further coordination — for flights that LAANC alone can't authorize
• LAANC API access — for integrating authorization into your own systems

If your goal is simply to fly legally and know what airspace you're in, this is where to begin.

Add Avision UTM for coordination and scale

Avision UTM / U-space adds airspace coordination and prioritization — the layer you need when multiple aircraft, operators, or agencies share the same airspace. It supports:

• Strategic conflict management
• Airspace coordination and prioritization
• Integration with detection technologies for a consolidated situational awareness dashboard

This is the layer relevant to towered airports, public outdoor events, critical infrastructure, and advanced air mobility operations such as air taxi, emergency transportation, and long-range cargo UAS.

Step 4: Match the platform to your use case

What to verify before you rely on it

• Confirm pricing and plan limits on the Pricing page — the homepage does not state what's included at each level.
• Check that LAANC coverage applies to your flight area, since authorization depends on FAA-provided airspace data.
• Confirm API access if you plan to integrate authorization into your own software rather than using the web interface.

One operator's experience is worth noting: Stan Khlevner, co-founder and COO of Remote Optix and an FAA-certified remote pilot, describes Avision as "a fully integrated out-of-the-box solution for last-mile logistics," and says his team uses Avision UTM for additional safety and operational visibility. That points to a realistic expectation — the platform is designed to be usable without heavy custom integration, but the value shows up most clearly once you're running recurring operations rather than a single flight.

The fastest route from zero to flying is: sign up free, check pricing, enable FAA Services for authorization and awareness, then add UTM when your operation involves coordination across multiple aircraft or agencies.
