Officials from the Estonian Aviation Academy and Anra Technologies announced their partnership at the Airspace World trade show in Geneva.

Estonia will be home to a new test center for uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) through a collaboration between the Estonian Aviation Academy (EAVA) and uncrewed traffic management (UTM) and operations specialist Anra Technologies. Officials from the Baltic state announced the partnership with the U.S. company during the Airspace World trade show in Geneva on Tuesday.

The academy’s site in Tartu, Estonia's second-largest city, will be used to evaluate UTM technology and processes as part of efforts to implement the so-called U-Space in which drones and automated eVTOL aircraft are expected to operate. The partners have been working on the test and validation phases of the project since September 2023 with support from the Estonian Transport Administration, the Estonian Business and Innovation Agency, and the Tartu Science Park Foundation.
