The Future of Aviation - Today
Almara is an independent aviation solutions company specialising in incorporating remotely piloted and autonomous air systems into the security, surveillance and emergency response plans of major public and private sector organisations.
Our Services
We specialise in the planning, integration, testing and management of remotely piloted uncrewed air systems, autonomous drones in a box and all the associated equipment, within the security and surveillance architecture at key infrastructure sites and in urban areas. Our directors’ decades of aviation and business expertise span the critical domains required for delivering successful aviation projects:
Client requirements analysis and operational needs assessment
Environmental and geographic factor evaluation
Equipment selection for uncrewed systems
Effective governance and compliance, and aviation authority liaison
Stakeholder management and integration planning
Technical delivery and through-life support
Effectively harnessing the full potential of drone in a box requires specific knowledge and Almara is leading the way in designing DiaB solutions, including user requirements, assurance and governance, regulation, test and evaluation, training, integration and delivery. Around these technical aspects of any drone capability, we provide a comprehensive programme management, stakeholder engagement, communications, risk management and assurance wrap.
Going much further than traditional aviation consultancies, we:
Deliver and operate services directly rather than just providing advice
Manage the complete solution from consultation through equipment trials to implementation and ‘steady state’ operations
Navigate complex regulatory environments across multiple jurisdictions to ensure initial and ongoing compliance
At Almara, we bring deep expertise in navigating the blended world of aviation, specifically where traditional crewed operations meet emerging uncrewed systems. Our five directors have decades of combined experience across aviation, defence, emergency services, and critical infrastructure protection.
But we also know that delivering excellence in this rapidly evolving sector requires more than just our own expertise. The complexity of integrating drone technology into established aviation frameworks requires a collaborative approach that draws on specialist knowledge across multiple disciplines.
