Aerologix Partners with Soar to Create World’s Largest Digital Atlas


Australian drone technology pioneer Aerologix today announced a strategic partnership with digital mapping platform Soar to create what is set to become the world's most extensive library of high-quality drone imagery and maps.

The landmark collaboration merges Aerologix's network of over 36,000 professional drone pilots with Soar's ambitious mission to build the first complete digital atlas of world maps and images. For the first time, users can access a unified platform that combines drone imagery, satellite data, and maps in one searchable location.

"This partnership is a game-changer for the drone industry and mapping technology," said Aerologix Co-founder and CEO Tom Caska. 

"By combining our extensive network of professional drone pilots with Soar's powerful distribution platform, we're creating unprecedented access to aerial imagery while opening new revenue streams for our pilot community. Together, we're creating the new atlas of the world."

The partnership delivers four key innovations:

* Instant access to Aerologix's comprehensive drone imagery library through Soar's platform

* New distribution and revenue opportunities for professional drone pilots

* Streamlined discovery and licensing of aerial imagery for businesses

*Seamless integration of AerologixMaps with Soar's global mapping infrastructure

The Soar platform, featuring nearly 700,000 maps, is a free, open-access resource that invites contributions from anyone with mapping data—from leading global organisations like NASA, the EU, and satellite imagery companies to individual map enthusiasts. Users include a diverse array of contributors and consumers, spanning students, citizen scientists, mining firms, and major news outlets such as the BBC, New York Times, and The Washington Post.

“What I love about Aerologix is that it's not just a global solution, but also one with a vast network that offers incredible scalability,” said Soar Founder and CEO Amir Farhand.


“The platform is designed for seamless interaction, and we are excited to partner and contribute to the end goal of building the world’s biggest atlas.”


This strategic alliance comes as Aerologix accelerates its global expansion following its successful launch in New Zealand and recent investment in cutting-edge mapping technology.

The company is one of a handful of drone companies onboarded into the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) digital sky platform, meaning both its Aerologix iOS and android apps ingest CASA weather updates, location-based information and maps that show where pilots can and can’t fly.
