Harness AI, Weather, and Terrain to Elevate Your UAV Operations
High Workload & Pilot Shortage
Manual flight planning and control can overload pilots, limit scalability, and increase the risk of human error.
Limited Flight Endurance
Short flight times and inefficient routes reduce reach and coverage, forcing early returns and missed objectives.
Complex, Dynamic Conditions
Objectives, weather, and airspace often shift faster than teams can adapt — disrupting operations and creating uncertainty.
Smarter Operations Begin with Shearwater
Our AI-powered Smart Flight™ platform is built with modular capabilities to support every phase of flight and solve real UAV operational challenges.
Mission Planning
Generate optimized routes for fixed or dynamic missions.
Readiness Check
Verify conditions to meet aircraft and mission constraints.
In-Flight Optimization
Optimize trajectories in real time using live data.
In-Flight Risk Response
Monitor energy and reroutes, returns, or lands as needed.
Exploring the Smart Flight™ Difference
Shearwater combines advanced AI-driven features to deliver transformative benefits for UAV operations.
Seamless Integration & Scalability
Easily integrates with any drone, including industry-standard systems like PX4 and Ardupilot, enabling smooth adoption and scalability as your UAV operations grow.
Superior 4D Route Optimization
Considers time, altitude, geography, weather and the aircraft’s unique performance model to determine the most optimal flight paths, saving time and extending mission endurance.
Thermal & Wind Pattern Exploitation
Actively leverages thermal currents and wind conditions for enhanced flight endurance, maximizing uptime without additional operator input or energy consumption.
Real-Time Weather Integration
Integrates high-resolution, hyper-local weather data (30m scale) to adjust in-flight routes, ensuring optimal flight conditions in real-time and reducing potential delays or safety risks.
Collaborative Swarm Operations
Enables single-operator management of multiple drones, streamlining operations and reducing the time spent on manual adjustments for each individual UAV.
Ensure Regulatory Compliance
Guarantees compliance with local regulatory frameworks- including adhering to population density constraints, airspace rules, and altitude constraints.

We Work with Global Leaders in Drone Operations & Manufacturing
Smart Flight Planning has been a game-changer for our operations, enabling us to streamline SORA 2.5 compliance and significantly reduce planning time. It’s a very promising software for advancing efficiency and safety in our missions.
Baptiste Sauvecanne
President/Co-founder
Leeft
With Smart Flight, operators can focus entirely on the mission objective. Contingency planning and dynamic replanning demand insight into terrain, weather, and aircraft limits; automating those steps — including a clear go/no-go — takes a huge load off pilots and keeps missions within safe bounds.
Adam Rosman
Managing Director
Aerial Monitoring Solutions
The integration of Shearwater’s technology directly addresses some of our most pressing operational challenges. Smart Flight™ allows us to deliver more consistently, scale with greater confidence, and strengthen regulatory trust as we expand our life-saving logistics network across Africa.
