Skynavpro (SNP)

What is Skynavpro

sky[nav]pro™ is an aviation solution for pilots, manned and unmanned aircraft operators. It features a light and portable box which integrates the Android or iOS devices (free Apps) into a worldwide hybrid communication network. Thus, it allows to integrate two-way communication, real time reception of weather information, live tracking and collision avoidance into a moving navigation app. sky[nav]pro™ is becoming blockchain based and employs open source interfaces for seamless integration of third-party providers.

1. Summary

skynavpro™ is a planning and navigation software integrated in a specially developed hardware for communication, collision avoidance and live tracking for general aviation. It is the first product in the world which successfully combines these extremely useful features in a single and portable box that can be cost efficiently mass-produced. Our longterm goal is to develop an extensive system-level integrated cockpit architecture based upon portable devices. The software, consisting of an online planning and navigation application, is offered free of charge. For additional and premium services (such as live weather data, collision alerts, worldwide tracking with integrated SOS feature) the specially designed and developed hardware is required. The hardware will be available in a variety of models on our online shop as well as through certified partners. Throughout central Europe skynavpro™ is an already well-established brand and hardware prototypes are already developed. Due to its system level integration concept it can easily fit in any manned and unmanned aircraft (e.g. drones, UAV’s). Therefore, Dacher Systems GmbH plans the initiation of an ICO. The proceeds of which will be directed towards the development of a new blockchain-operated flight-planning and tracking platform as well the production of the first units for mass market. This will be launched worldwide through several phases. The platform is unique and has the potential to establish itself as a standard in general and business aviation. The name of the Token is: skynavpro [SNP]

2. The Problem

In general aviation on average, old age aircrafts and technologies meet modern UAV’s (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, commonly known as drones). These UAV’s are equipped with most modern electronics; however, they are not yet considered in a systematic solution for the safe execution of air traffic. Due to an expected duplication of air traffic and a massive increase in UAV’s by 2035, the air traffic density will grow dramatically worldwide, with dangerous approaches already happening frequently. Therefore, organisations such as AOPA, EBAA, ECOGAS, ERAC, and GAMA call for a solution for the safe execution of air traffic and the transmission of flight important data. International regulations (e.g. Single European Sky, SESAR, ADS-B Out 2020, NextGen) ask for digital networking to preserve and increase safety. A modern networking solution that covers the entirety of air traffic is not available; that is where the skynavpro™ network comes in.

3. Business Idea

The foundation of the business idea is the fact that, there is currently no planning and navigation tool on the market that incorporates the valuable services of in-flight live weather data, collision alerts for all surrounding air traffic and live flight tracking integrated in a single mobile device. skynavpro™ unites all relevant flight information in one application: free planning and navigation, flying weather data, 2-way text communication, worldwide tracking and a traffic monitor for collision avoidance. SOS emergency calls can be communicated automatically, and positions and accelerations can be measured via GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) or g-force sensor. By accessing all process-relevant data via standardised communication channels, permanent availability during all phases of the flight is guaranteed. The pilot of the aircraft or UAV will therefore be relieved. Additionally, the direct transmission of valuable data increases safety in general aviation – manned or unmanned – with each flight!

In the flight-planning and managing tool a free account is created. Within this, premium services (e.g. weather, communication, tracking and additional map information) can be booked over the basic features provided. To make these services available during flight the purchase of the skynavpro™ hardware is required. The basic model is the BlueLine, which provides the fundamental communication solution for tracking and weather data. The advanced RedLine is step-up compatible and completes the BlueLine through the integration of collision avoidance systems such as ADS-B (Automatic Dependant Surveillance – Broadcast) and FLARM.

Each user can set an individual budget in the flight-planning and management portal. The SNP tokens will then be transferred to the user’s account from a smart-contract portal, which is based on the Ethereum blockchain. The budget of SNP-tokens will fund the fees for the add-on-services.

4. Aim

Our aim is to expand within the international market based on the great experiences and pilot needs we recognized at our trade shows across central Europe and to grow with regards to the UAV market. Our innovative and unique solution satisfies worldwide requirements and is the only system operator that provides a flight-safety concept for the entirety of air traffic. Nationwide hardware-sales, as well as continuously selling add-on-services generate permanent, sustainable and stable sales figures. Our customers profit by the network effect of the total system. Since the Ethereum blockchain is based on the pay-per-use model, costs only apply for the actual use of a service, for example in weather, tracking, communication, landing charges or refueling.
