Amit Ganjoo Shaping Global Drone Traffic Management Policies

Amit Ganjoo, the founder and CEO of ANRA Technologies, has become a key figure in the global drone industry. His company, specializing in Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM), drone operations software, and airspace services, has received multiple awards for innovation in UTM and drone services.

Ganjoo has been featured by NASA, the World Economic Forum, and the Global Air Traffic Management Conference, showcasing his influence and expertise in the field. He sees drones and air taxis operating as part of an integrated airspace ecosystem, supported by dynamic digital infrastructure.

Ganjoo's company, ANRA Technologies, has grown into a trusted provider of software platforms for drone traffic services, mission planning, and data management. Through this platform, Ganjoo is building tools and platforms that enable drones to fly safely and intelligently across cities, countries, and continents. These platforms are deployed across the U.S., UK, EU, India, and Southeast Asia, supporting both civil aviation authorities and commercial drone operators.

One of Ganjoo's significant contributions has been his work on the U.S. FAA's recent proposed rules for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations. He characterizes the FAA's Part 146 provision and BVLOS rulemaking as a "missing regulatory link" and a "transformative opportunity" that establishes a comprehensive, risk-based framework enabling routine, scalable drone operations beyond visual line of sight in national airspace.

Specifically, Ganjoo emphasizes that Part 146 formalizes the role of Automated Data Service Providers (ADSPs), including UTM providers, promoting certification, accountability, and safety necessary for large-scale BVLOS operations. His company ANRA is among the first with EASA-certified UTM systems, highlighting Ganjoo’s influence beyond the U.S. towards international standard-setting for drone traffic management.

Ganjoo's public statements and participation in discussions around the FAA’s landmark BVLOS proposals demonstrate his leadership in advancing safe airspace integration, conflict detection, conformance monitoring, and remote identification systems for drones. This work supports expanding drone use cases like infrastructure inspection, delivery, agriculture, and emergency response, helping unlock economic potential while maintaining public trust in safety.

Amit Ganjoo's career began in defense technology, where he served as a systems engineer for the U.S. Department of Defense, working on Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence (C3I) systems. He now plays an active role in the Global UTM Association, ASTM working groups, and ICAO trials, helping shape the standards that will define international drone operations in the coming decades.

Jacob Stoner, the CEO of Flyeye.io, is another prominent figure in the drone industry. He is a licensed commercial drone operator in Canada and a highly respected figure within his local drone community. Eno Umoh, the co-founder of Global Air Drone Academy (GADA), is another separate entity advocating for open architectures and data-sharing protocols to ensure that UTM systems remain scalable, secure, and interoperable across borders and use cases.

For updates on drone traffic management, UTM systems, and autonomous airspace innovation, you can follow Amit Ganjoo on LinkedIn and through ANRA Technologies' official website. Raphe mPhibr, FlyGuys, Hadrian, and Target Arm are separate entities that have recently raised significant funding for various drone-related projects. These companies, along with ANRA Technologies and other industry leaders, are shaping the future of drone traffic management and integration into national and global airspace.
