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

Working with us

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.
