IOST x EHang x Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) | Strategic Public-Private Partnership Takes Flight

The IOST Foundation is excited to announce a strategic partnership with EHang to provide flight data integrity and data analytics effectiveness in a new exciting aerospace project for the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC).

EHang is an intelligent autonomous aerial vehicle company with integrated capacities of R&D, manufacturing, sales and services, headquartered in Guangzhou, China. EHang is awarded by top international business magazine Fast Company as one of the “Most Innovative Companies” and is ranked globally as one of the top 3 companies in the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) industry.

Recently, the Civil Aviation Administration of China had issued the “Regulations for the Trial Operations of Specific Types of UAVs (Provisional)” in a call-for-collaboration with private companies. The project requirements stated that in order to ensure the authenticity and effectiveness of the operating system data, technical methods such as digital signatures or blockchains must be used. These technologies are used to make sure operational data cannot be tampered with after encryption and authentication by third-party technology.

In this exciting public-private partnership with the Civil Aviation Administration of China, IOST will work alongside EHang to deliver a secure and reliable data management system using blockchain to ensure that sensitive operating system data are encrypted, authenticated and cannot be tampered with by third parties.

This three-way partnership with the Civil Aviation Administration of China and one of the world’s largest UAV players represents a major milestone for IOST, and is also validation of IOST’s technology in serving major B2B enterprise projects through practical real-world use cases.

With many more enterprise projects in the pipeline, IOST is well-positioned to be a leader of global change through our progressive blockchain technology.
