Guiding the industry

The story behind UASolutions

UASolutions was founded in 2021 by Nathanel Apter, former regulator at the Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA). Often regarded as one of the most forward-thinking aviation authorities in the world, his work at the FOCA helped establish guidelines and best practices for numerous aspects of drone regulation around the world today.


After leaving the FOCA, Nathanel created UASolutions with the aim of enabling all stakeholders to enter the drone industry through airborne operations and to democratise access to airspace. His passion for the industry is driven by the huge potential of drone technology in areas such as logistics, data collection, crop spraying, transport and entertainment.

At UASolutions, our mission is to unlock the power of new and innovative technologies through regulatory guidance. We help companies better understand existing and emerging regulatory frameworks and potential funding opportunities to make their drone flights a reality.

UASolutions has successfully achieved more than 50 regulatory projects in areas as:

  1. Drone Delivery
  2. Drone Light Shows
  3. Agricultural and Chemical Spraying
  4. Load Transportation
  5. Photography and Videography
  6. Photogrammetry and Orthophotography
  7. Inspection Flights

Among our successes we count:

The Drone Light Show of the Festival “Feu o Lac” in Geneva

The approval of the Cadastral Department of the City of Fribourg

The approval of the largest approved Agricultural Crop Spraying company in Switzerland

While our experience is very sound in Switzerland, we have successfully supported operations with following aviation authorities:
