Case Study: Airspace Integration Trials - Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s (MBIE) Innovative Partnerships Programme developed a new initiative to enable the safe development, testing and market validation of Advanced Uncrewed Aircraft within New Zealand’s existing regulatory framework –the Airspace Integration Trials Programme (AITP).

MBIE required a Programme Manager to take the lead on establishing a streamlined programme framework to be applied to each trial and be responsible for coordinating the input and actions of industry partners, central government agencies and key local stakeholders.

Solution

Nova Systems provided a dedicated Programme Manager with in-depth knowledge of the NZ aviation environment to help support the large and complex programme. Working with partner government agencies and industry, Nova Systems developed a programme framework that could be tailored to the needs of various industry partners looking to take their technologies from experimental testing through to inservice operations across a variety of usecases including urban air mobility, agriculture and hazard management.

Outcome

Nova Systems successfully supported the MBIE programme, resulting in the expansion of Nova System’s support to MBIE, with potential for further expansion of the AITP’s scope to support the growth of the Uncrewed Aircraft industry sector within New Zealand.
