Techno Brave Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Sakonji Hamamoto) announced a major update on May 1, 2026, to "SORA GATE," a cloud service that connects drone applications, flight planning, records, safety management, and information sharing, supporting the standardization of operational tasks within organizations.
SORA GATE is a cloud service that centralizes the applications, flight planning, flight records, safety management, and information sharing necessary for drone operations, supporting everything from on-site work to organizational management.
The new features enhance the existing operation management functions by strengthening a group of features that allow tasks to be organized and shared on a project basis, providing stronger support for the standardization and visualization of overall operation tasks, including case management.
■ Issues Emerging in Drone Operation Sites
The social implementation of drones is rapidly progressing, with their use expanding across various fields such as surveying, inspection, logistics, disaster prevention, and agriculture. Despite this expansion, on-site challenges persist, such as application information being managed separately, flight plans created by individual staff, flight records kept in Excel or on paper, incidents reported via email or verbally, and case documents scattered across folders, leading to fragmented operations.
Furthermore, in corporations and organizations managing multiple projects concurrently, recording methods and verification procedures often vary among staff, and delays in information sharing or overlooked confirmations frequently lead to safety and management risks.
Against this backdrop, there is a demand for a standardized operational foundation that can revise person-dependent operations and enable reproducible processes within an organization.
■ What SORA GATE Achieves
SORA GATE is a cloud service developed to solve these problems. Existing features have provided a foundation that connects necessary operational information through flight briefings (pre-planning), incident management, flight log management, team sharing, insurance/aircraft validity period management, DIPS linkage, and weather information provision.
With the new features, project management capabilities have been expanded.
As a result, SORA GATE has evolved into an operational platform for organizations that connects everything from applications to planning, recording, safety management, project progress, and reporting, extending beyond just pre- and post-flight management.
■ Main Features
1) DIPS Linkage
Imports DIPS application information, aircraft information, and flight plans, smoothly connecting them to each task.
It supports the centralization of overall operational tasks without fragmenting application processes and on-site operations.
2) Flight Planning
Allows centralized management of flight plans, implementation details, personnel deployment, and schedules for each project.
It supports standardized operations that organize pre-flight preparations and facilitate sharing among stakeholders.
3) Flight Record and Inspection Management
Manages flight logs, inspection records, and maintenance information collectively, ensuring daily operational information is reliably preserved.
It prevents missing records and supports continuous and reproducible operation management.
4) Incident Management
Records near-misses and accident information, and centrally manages notifications and response statuses.
It supports the visualization and standardization of safety management by sharing safety information across the entire team.
5) Project Management
Organizes and shares information, documents, and progress related to projects with the team.
It supports the establishment of a system that can manage operational tasks on a project basis, not just before and after flights.
6) Report and Form Output
Outputs forms and reports in PDF/WORD files based on recorded information, streamlining reporting tasks.
Flight logs are compatible with forms 1 to 3 designated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
It smoothly connects information accumulated on-site to subsequent submission and sharing.
■ Peripheral functions supporting operational tasks, all in one place.

■ Value Provided by SORA GATE
SORA GATE supports the centralization of fragmented tasks, standardization of person-dependent operations, and enhancement of information sharing across the entire team by connecting necessary information and operational workflows for drone operations in one place.
With the newly added project management function, it is now possible to manage not only pre- and post-flight operations but also the progress of entire projects and related information. This promotes the establishment of an organizational operation system that includes not only on-site staff but also managers and related departments.
■ Introduction Benefits
While flight log management tools and application support services exist in the market, SORA GATE connects all necessary elements for operations, such as flight briefings, incident management, and insurance/aircraft validity period management, and now, with new features, supports operations including project management.
Especially, the sharing of safety information through incident management, standardization of pre-flight preparations through flight briefings, and visualization of flight plans are crucial for corporate operators.
