Antwerp, Belgium – May 26, 2026 – Unifly, a global leader in UAS Tra6ic Management (UTM) solutions, has been chosen as the technology partner for the operational UTM platform under Malaysia’s ClearPath UASTMS Programme, in collaboration with Datasonic Technologies Sdn. Bhd.
The project, titled “The Development of Localisation, Customisation and Integration of the Unmanned Aircraft System Tra?ic Management System (UAS TMS) for U1 and U2 ClearPath Project”, was awarded in 2025 to Datasonic Technologies Sdn. Bhd., a subsidiary of NexG Berhad (formerly known as Datasonic Group Berhad). The initiative encompasses both the National Drone Registration System (U1) and the Operational Tra6ic Management System (U2), forming a comprehensive and integrated digital framework for the Unmanned Aircraft operations in Malaysia.
Following recent project developments, Unifly has been brought on board to deliver the operational UTM platform, ensuring continuity and strengthening the implementation of the U2 component. The appointment follows the transition from a previously appointed solution provider and reflects a strategic step to reinforce delivery capabilities with a proven global technology partner.
Platform capabilities
The ClearPath UAS TMS Programme is designed to support the safe, e6icient, and scalable integration of drones into national airspace. Under this initiative, Datasonic leads the development of the U1 Registration Module, providing a comprehensive platform for the registration of unmanned aircraft and operators, while Unifly delivers the Operational UTM System that enables real-time management, monitoring, and coordination of drone activities.
Unifly’s UTM platform includes both web-based and mobile applications for drone operators and aviation authorities, enabling seamless planning, authorisation, and oversight of drone operations. The platform integrates key functionalities such as geoawareness, flight authorisation, network identification, and tra6ic information services, ensuring a high level of operational safety and regulatory compliance.
Through its geoawareness service, operators are provided with real-time information on airspace structures, restrictions, and operational limitations, enabling informed and compliant mission planning. The flight authorisation module allows operators to submit flight requests digitally, while authorised stakeholders are equipped with tools to review, approve, and manage operations, including the implementation of dynamic airspace restrictions such as temporary no-fly zones.
During live operations, the platform’s network identification capability enhances situational awareness by providing real-time visibility of active drone flights, strengthening airspace security and operational oversight. This is complemented by tra6ic information services, which deliver relevant airspace data to operators to support safe and coordinated operations.
In addition, the platform o6ers open API capabilities, enabling integration with drones and third-party systems, further enhancing interoperability and supporting a more e6icient end-to-end ecosystem for unmanned aviation.
What’s next?
This initiative represents a significant step forward in supporting Malaysia’s ambition to unlock the economic potential of drone technology, while maintaining strong standards of safety, security, and operational governance.
Unifly brings extensive global experience in delivering operational UTM systems, having supported air navigation service providers such as NAV CANADA, skeyes (Belgium), BULATSA (Bulgaria), and ENAIRE (Spain). These implementations have demonstrated strong growth in digital flight authorisations, increased automation, and improved compliance across national airspace environments.
Andres Van Swalm, CEO of Unifly, said:
“Malaysia is taking a decisive step toward enabling the safe, secure and scalable integration of drones into its national airspace. We are honoured to support Datasonic in delivering a proven UTM platform that has been successfully deployed in multiple operational environments worldwide. Together, we look forward to contributing to the growth of the drone ecosystem in Malaysia.”
Datuk Ab Hamid Mohamad Hanipah, Managing Director of Datasonic Technologies Sdn. Bhd., said:
“As the project owner and system integrator for the ClearPath UASTMS Programme, Datasonic remains committed to delivering a comprehensive, secure and future-ready national UAS Tra6ic Management System. The appointment of Unifly ensures continuity and strengthens the delivery of the operational UTM component, leveraging proven global technology to complement our localisation, customisation and integration capabilities. This collaboration reinforces our role in advancing Malaysia’s digital aviation ecosystem while upholding strong standards of safety and system integrity.”
