Viasat, through its Velaris ecosystem and via Galaxy 1 Communications, has partnered with L2 Aviation to deliver certifiable satellite communications and avionics integration for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS). L2 Aviation brings nearly three decades of expertise in safety-critical aircraft modifications to embed Viasat's global satellite connectivity into certified avionics architectures.
This collaboration moves the industry beyond technical demonstrations toward operational capability within regulated airspace, addressing the critical gap between satellite connectivity and certifiable, scalable AAM operations.
For eVTOL manufacturers, drone operators, and AAM infrastructure providers, this partnership offers a tangible pathway to airworthiness certification and compliant, routine operations. It mitigates a key risk in commercial deployment by integrating proven satcom solutions into certifiable avionics frameworks.
According to industry sources, the integration leverages Viasat's Velaris ecosystem to ensure global, secure connectivity from the outset of aircraft design and certification processes.
