Dronavia began its journey at the Aéropôle Grand Nancy Tomblaine business park, where it quickly identified the growing global opportunities in the drone safety accessories market. It was there that the first Flight Termination Systems (FTS) and Parachute Recovery Systems (FTS) were conceived, designed, and rigorously tested on the DJI Inspire 1 platform.

Dronavia launched the commercialization of its first safety accessories for professional drones, with the IDRsys parachute and Flight Termination Systems (FTS) receiving DGAC approval and rapidly equipping the fleets of professional drone operators.
At the same time, Dronavia patented its CO₂-based parachute deployment system, marking the introduction of a powerful, reliable, and forward-looking innovation in drone safety.

Building on its early experience, Dronavia expanded its innovation roadmap by developing several advanced drone technologies, including an autonomous parachute deployment system with crash detection, an intelligent and autonomous Flight Termination System (FTS) with geocaging, developed in partnership with Thales, and an industrial dusting drone created in collaboration with Valmet.

Having become the European market leader, Dronavia now covers the full range of needs of professional drone operators while actively anticipating upcoming regulatory developments. In particular, Dronavia prepared early for the implementation of the EN 4709 standard, which came into force on 1 July 2023, ensuring that all its systems are fully compliant.

Dronavia is proud to be the first manufacturer in Europe to offer both C3 to C5 accessory kits and C2 to C5 conversion kits, enabling operators to transition to C5 classification in compliance with EASA requirements. In parallel, Dronavia was also the first manufacturer to deliver systems compliant with MoC 2511, and is now extending this leadership with solutions compliant with MoC 2512 (M2) published by EASA.

With a team of over 30 employees, Dronavia continues to grow and expand its expertise. Following the launch of the Kronos range in 2025, the company further strengthens its safety portfolio with a new Geocaging solution.

Building on its successful first industrial project with Valmet, Dronavia accelerates its development in industrial drone solutions by becoming the French distributor of Scout DI, marking a new step in delivering advanced, mission-ready drone solutions for industry.
