Viasat, through its Velaris ecosystem, has integrated L2 Aviation via Galaxy 1 Communications to provide certifiable satellite communications (SATCOM) and avionics integration for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS). L2 Aviation, with nearly three decades of expertise in safety-critical aircraft modifications, will embed Viasat's global satellite connectivity into certified avionics architectures.
This collaboration moves the industry beyond technical demonstrations toward operational capability within regulated airspace. It directly addresses the critical gap between satellite connectivity and certifiable, scalable AAM operations.
For B2B clients including 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 ensuring that connectivity solutions meet stringent aviation regulatory standards from the outset.
According to the original announcement, this integration marks a significant step toward scalable, certified AAM operations in regulated airspace globally. The combined expertise of Viasat's Velaris ecosystem and L2 Aviation's modification capabilities creates a reliable supply chain for certifiable avionics.
