PITTSBURGH (August 10, 2023) – Michael Baker International, a global leader in engineering, planning and consulting services, today introduced vAIRify, a new cloud-native, software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering designed to facilitate safe and effective program management for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) pilots and program managers. vAIRify is part of Michael Baker’s SkySuite, a platform of applications designed to support end-to-end flight planning and program management for the aviation industry.

“We developed vAIRify to optimize flight planning and reduce the pain points associated with flight documentation – ultimately allowing users to get in the air faster,“ said Kranti Bandi, CSM, SOA, PMP, National Applications Development Director at Michael Baker International. “vAIRify offers the tools our clients need to develop robust and streamlined UAS programs.”

vAIRify enables clients across local government agencies, state governments, departments of transportation and the private sector to:

  • Oversee programs with a user-friendly interface that integrates geographic information systems (GIS) modules and custom dashboards to help users track progress and manage projects effectively.
  • Mitigate risk by ensuring the safe approval and execution of flight plans in alignment with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations. Users can view key details like certifications and flight hazards for informed decision making.
  • Standardize documentation and stay organized through the creation of uniform flight submissions, documentation and approvals. Users can access this information for future use from vAIRify’s dashboard.
  • Create a system of record and enable the use of authoritative data to track progress over time. vAIRify captures and stores all historical flight information.
