Spire Global, a space to cloud analytics company, and Indmex Aviation, a provider of surveillance solutions, will cooperate in the development of space-based Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) for the development of new concepts of operation, for both airport and airline Collaborative Decision Making (CDM).

The two companies will utilize their combined expertise in developing the next-generation airport runway safety technologies. The companies signed a letter of intent in March to cooperate in the analysis of ADS-B data received from the Spire Global satellite constellation, application of the data for airport and airline operations management and development of tools to leverage fused transoceanic surveillance data with air traffic control, and Indmex’s private ADS-B network.

These activities will support the development of next-generation CDM platforms that aim to be cost-effective, nimble, scalable and adaptable to clients’ individual needs.
