Titan Protection has secured FAA approval to conduct one-to-many drone operations, enabling a single remote pilot to oversee up to four automated drones simultaneously across multiple states.
The Kansas City-based security company obtained the approval through an amendment to its existing Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) waiver—a waiver Titan was the first security company in the nation to receive. The amended authorization permits operations up to 100 feet above ground level, or 100 feet above an obstacle, while supervising multiple automated aircraft from a centralized command center.
Technical Infrastructure for One-to-Many Drone Operations
The capability operates from Titan’s UL-listed, Five Diamond-certified Remote Operations Center and leverages FlytBase’s enterprise drone-operations software. The system enables multi-site, automated drone deployments while maintaining safety, compliance, and operational oversight.
Advanced automation analyzes and filters raw sensor data before it reaches human pilots. The system automatically clears routine or non-threat activity such as wildlife movement, weather events, or vegetation, ensuring only verified incidents involving people or vehicles are escalated for human review.
“This approval is a major milestone—not just for Titan, but for the future of scalable, intelligent security operations,” said Ryan Smith, President and Founder of Titan Protection. “We’ve already seen our drone-in-a-box deployments reduce costs by up to 60 percent compared to traditional guarding models, and one-to-many operations fundamentally transform the economics and reach of drone security.”
Scaling Automated Drone Security
Titan currently manages automated drone launches at customer sites in multiple states, supporting enterprise, industrial, and critical-infrastructure clients. The company’s established record of safe BVLOS operations and FlytBase’s demonstrated software reliability were key factors in securing the amendment.
“Titan’s approval represents an important step forward for automated drone operations at scale,” said Achal Negi, Director BD at FlytBase. “By combining proven BVLOS experience with intelligent orchestration software, Titan is demonstrating how one-to-many operations can enhance security outcomes while maintaining the highest standards of safety and compliance.”
