Hover UAV and ANRA Technologies Launch SORA-Mate for Automating Drone Risk Assessments for Safer, Compliant Missions

Streamlined Compliance and Enhanced Safety for Drone Operators in Australia and New Zealand

ANRA Technologies , a global leader in airspace management solutions, and Hover UAV , a leading drone regulatory consultancy, have launched SORA-Mate, an innovative automated risk assessment tool for drone operators in Australia, New Zealand, and the wider APAC region.

As drones become a vital part of daily operations, they transform industries such as agriculture, public safety, and critical infrastructure. Farmers now use drones to monitor crops, while police and fire services deploy them to enhance public safety. In the utility sector, drones help restore essential infrastructure more efficiently after disasters. However, as organisations seek to expand drone usage, they often face regulatory hurdles. Complex and inconsistent application processes frequently lead to lengthy approval wait times from aviation authorities, slowing the adoption of advanced drone operations.

To address these challenges, SORA-Mate was developed to automate the Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA) process. By streamlining submissions and ensuring compliance, SORA-Mate simplifies the regulatory journey for both operators and regulators. This automation improves application accuracy, reduces delays, and makes it easier for operators to conduct Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flights. The platform walks users through risk analysis, mitigation strategies, and report generation by aligning with Joint Authorities for Rulemaking on Unmanned Systems (JARUS) guidelines. SORA-Mate enables operators to scale efficiently and conduct safe and compliant flights in controlled airspace.

“SORA-Mate represents a significant leap forward in drone operation safety and efficiency,” said Amit Ganjoo, Founder and CEO of ANRA Technologies. “By automating complex risk assessments, we’re enabling operators to focus on their missions while ensuring the highest standards of safety and regulatory compliance.”
