Droniq GmbH

Droniq GmbH is a joint venture founded in 2019 by DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung, who holds a 51-percent stake, and Deutsche Telekom, who holds a 49-percent stake. The company is based in Frankfurt, Germany, and has set itself the objective of advancing the professional and safe use of unmanned aircraft systems, or drones, by public authorities and organisations tasked with public safety and security as well as by companies.

The core of Droniq's product offering is the Droniq traffic management system for unmanned aircraft systems (UTM). The UTM shows pilots all surrounding air traffic – both manned and unmanned. Furthermore, other air traffic participants can also see the drone, if necessary. With this system, which is unique in Germany, Droniq is creating the basis for using drones safely beyond the visual line of sight.

Other services offered by Droniq include the sale of drones for commercial and government use, as well as hardware and software solutions for their safe operation. Droniq also supports its customers in applying for licences and permits, and advises on mission planning. With its Droniq Academy the company also offers remote pilots the opportunity to complete training and examinations.

At the end of 2023, Droniq also launched its Drones-as-a-Service segment. As part of this, Droniq supports its customers in all applications relating to drone operations and also carries out drone flights for them if required. The main focus here is currently on the inspection of wind turbines. 

Droniq's customers include police forces at all governmental levels, fire and rescue services as well as companies from the chemical, logistics, agriculture, wind energy, construction and security sectors.
