Airwise launches Nexus to unify airspace data in one operating picture

Airwise Solutions has launched Nexus, a new airspace-awareness platform that fuses radar, RF detection, Remote ID, ADS-B, video and drone telemetry into a single live view. The company is targeting public safety, counter-UAS and energy operators that need faster decisions across fragmented sensor systems.

Why it matters: - Public-safety agencies and critical-infrastructure operators often have to work across separate sensor consoles and disconnected screens before they can act. - Nexus is designed to combine those feeds into one operating picture, which can speed response and improve situational awareness in airspace operations. - Airwise is also using an open partner model that can lower integration friction for new data providers and customers.

What happened: - Airwise Solutions launched Nexus, an open airspace-awareness platform built on its airwiseOS software. - The platform ingests and correlates third-party sensor and operational data into a unified common operating picture. - The launch was announced Aug. 11, 2026, in Tulsa, Okla. - Airwise said Nexus is available now.

The details: - Nexus combines radar, radiofrequency detection, Remote ID, ADS-B, video, OEM drone telemetry and other trusted cooperative and non-cooperative traffic feeds. - The platform also correlates detections with an enterprise’s own drone, personnel and vehicle telemetry. - Airwise said the system is intended for enterprise drone operations, counter-UAS awareness and airspace management. - Sensor and data-feed providers can integrate with Nexus for free and on a non-exclusive basis. - A single integration can make partner data available to every Airwise customer whose use case permits it. - Partners retain full ownership of their data. - Airwise does not build hardware. - Nexus uses standards-based open APIs for enterprise integrations. - Airwise plans to begin with public safety, including drone-as-first-responder and counter-UAS programs, plus energy and utilities operators that oversee large infrastructure footprints. - Unmanned Vehicle Technologies, a public-safety drone integrator, is among the collaborators supporting the launch. - Airwise said interested sensor manufacturers, data-feed providers and integrators can contact the company for a no-cost integration.

Between the lines: - The open partner approach is meant to make each new sensor or data source more valuable inside the platform without locking customers to a single vendor. - By avoiding hardware manufacturing, Airwise is positioning Nexus as a software layer that can sit above existing systems instead of replacing them. - The first target markets suggest Airwise is focusing on missions where airspace visibility and fast deconfliction have immediate operational and safety consequences. - Chris Fink, founder and CEO of UVT, said agencies need a clearer view of their airspace so teams can understand and act on information faster. - Josh O’Leary, Airwise chief technology officer, said integration should be free and open so customers can combine best-of-breed hardware in one operating picture.

What's next: - Airwise is inviting sensor manufacturers, data-feed providers and integrators to join the Nexus partner program. - The company plans to expand use of the platform across public safety, energy and utilities as new integrations come online. - Airwise said Nexus integrations can be started as no-cost deployments through its partner program. - More information is available at Airwise Solutions and UVT.
