From idea to product

In a world increasingly driven by technology developments, change is accelerating. Technologies and applications that make sense today can be disrupted tomorrow and make way to a completely new set of use cases and best practices. Technology hype cycles are more dynamic and permeable than ever before. At Skymantics, we maintain a constant research mindset that enables us to continually challenge, improve, and invent.

New ideas should not stay in white papers and ConOps. Rather, they become good, applicable ideas once they are prototyped and tested. This is a basic tenet for achieving a validation by practitioners and the user community.

It is essential to involve domain experts and potential users in the ideation, testing and verification process cycles. Thus, a collaboration environment is essential, where feedback cycles and iterations are executed in an agile way to select the ideas and implementations that make sense technically and economically. 

Fields of research

Machine Learning models to solve transportation problems

New geospatial data encodings and exchange standards

Multimodal passenger mobility

Air Traffic Management Concepts of Operation (ConOps) for new entrants such as UAS, Urban Air Mobility, and Upper Class E Operations

Wireless networks for Air Traffic Management and airport operations

The Skymantics difference

At Skymantics, we have a long history supporting Ggovernment, academia, and standards organizations in research initiatives. Some examples are:

Contributions to Aviation ConOps

NASA ATM-X, air/ground data link IP communications

Proof of concept for routing optimization

Multimodal mobility in urban environments, OGC Routing Pilot

Proof of concept of ML models for new applications

OGC Testbed Machine Learning thread, synthetic data for simulation of the Nation

Our mindset is wired for challenging the status quo, testing new hypotheseis, and for doing all this in an agile way. It is paramount that we for Skymantics to experiment,and fail fast and early to , and eventually succeed into bringing the right idea to deployment and operation. Our approach relies heavily on collaboration with partners, technology providers, and customers, to shorten ideation lifecycles.

Skymantics is supporting the research and development of UTM by providing guidance in data exchange modeling, information architecture alternatives, and gap analysis to support future UAS Service Supplier (USS) prototypes.
