The Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) sector is seeing rapid growth in the use of drones. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are transforming industries and creating, previously unimaginable, business models. As the UAS industry continues to grow, the demand for reliable, comprehensive insurance becomes increasingly important- and that’s where ATA steps in.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems
‍
An Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) is a complete system that includes an unmanned aircraft (drone), along with the supporting components required for its operation, such as the control system, communication links, sensors, and ground control station. It can be operated manually or autonomously depending on mission requirements. UAS technology spans a wide range of applications, including:
‍
Aerial photography and videography: Drones can offer new perspectives at lower costs for filmmakers and surveyors.

Agriculture: Precision farming has become more efficient, with drones able to monitor crop health, analyse irrigation needs, and spray fertilizers.

Delivery services: Drones present the possibility of delivering goods in minutes rather than days, straight to the customer.

Public safety: Drones are increasingly used by emergency responders for search and rescue missions, wildfire monitoring, and disaster relief.

As UAS continue to innovate, the industry must also manage the risks that come with these new technologies.

The Role of Insurance in Commercialising New Aviation Technologies
‍
Advanced Air Mobility, or AAM, has been widely welcomed as the catch-all term for a new ecosystem of aviation technologies: from smaller unmanned systems to passenger-carrying eVTOLs and larger fixed-wing electric, hybrid and hydrogen-powered regional aircraft. ATA is are here for the broad AAM landscape, with targeted risk appetite for manufacturers of aircraft and major components, operators of eVTOL, eSTOL and eCTOL aircraft, operators of autonomous and RPAS fleets, suppliers and distributors of component parts, service, maintenance, and repair operations, vertiport construction and operations, design and engineering consultancy, airspace management infrastructure, alternative aviation fuels and powertrains, and next generation avionics. As the AAM sector moves from the phase of research and development to full commercialisation, managing the risks of emerging technologies becomes critical. Here’s how ATA helps:
‍
Hull Insurance: The aircraft and equipment used in AAM are highly sophisticated and expensive. Manufacturers and operators can be left exposed to substantial losses. ATA provides damage coverage for the full range of AAM technology, from eVTOL test flights, to drone fleet operations as well as the ground control equipment needed to make it all possible. With expert loss adjusters and claims teams, ATA ensures that companies can recover quickly from incidents and continue their operations.

Third Party Liability Protection: Whether you're launching an air taxi service or managing a delivery service drone fleet, accidents or malfunctions can lead to costly third party claims. ATA's insurance policies offer robust coverage to protect operators from claims related to such property damage or injury.

Products Liability Protection: Manufacturers in the AAM space are constantly developing new products with ever increasing complexity. Whether developing alternative fuel propulsion systems or parts for high-altitude platform systems, ATA’s specialised products cover helps mitigate the risks associated with taking these technologies to market.
