(TSXV: FLT, OTCQB: TAKOF, FSE: ABB.F) (“\n \n Volatus\n \n ” or “\n \n the Company\n \n ”), a leader in aerial solutions, today announced that Transport Canada has issued a Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC) authorizing Volatus to conduct more complex Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations by authorizing the use of MatrixSpace’s next-generation radar, integrated through Kongsberg Geospatial’s IRIS Terminal platform.\n \n\n Unlike traditional ground-based radar systems, MatrixSpace’s technology is compact, low-power, and able to detect smaller non-cooperative traffic such as other drones. When integrated with Kongsberg’s proven airspace awareness and traffic management software, and supported by Volatus’ remote Operations Control Center, these capabilities make it practical to scale BVLOS operations into applications such as automated drone-in-a-box networks, distributed wide-area monitoring, and autonomous services where continuous, reliable detect-and-avoid is critical.\n \n\n The global drone-in-a-box market was valued at just over US$1 billion in 2024 and is forecast to grow to between US$5 and US$9 billion by the early 2030s, reflecting annual growth rates of ~20–23%.\n \n 1\n \n This rapid expansion underscores the commercial potential for scalable, subscription-based drone services such as those enabled by this new approval.\n \n\n Volatus already holds nationwide SFOCs permitting BVLOS operations in low-ri...
