About High Lander
High Lander is an Israeli aviation-software company focused on the operational layer between individual drones and shared airspace. Orion provides mission planning, command, live telemetry, video and fleet oversight across multiple aircraft types. Vega is designed for uncrewed traffic management, integrating identification, authorisation and real-time airspace information for regulators and infrastructure operators.
Its products can connect third-party aircraft, Remote ID devices and public-safety systems without changing the underlying airframe. A Dronetag integration extends Vega with Remote ID data, demonstrating how the platform consumes external identity signals.

Administrators can change forms and conditional rules without software-engineering work. The module supports national-identity single sign-on, scoped user roles and automated certificate issuance. Payment-code integration and in-workflow amendment requests are designed to reduce manual regulatory backlogs.
Source - 2026-05-26 - Partnership - High Lander and ThirdEye integrate optical drone detection with Vega UTM
MeduzaX uses edge computing to analyse EO/IR data and distinguish cooperative from non-cooperative aircraft in the Vega dashboard. ThirdEye reports a positive detection rate above 94% and a false-alarm rate below 1% for the sensor. The combined view targets power plants, airports, ports and government sites through Vega C2 and Vega High Site workflows.
