What is Waypoint360?

Waypoint360 is a web platform for professional drone operators. It covers the administrative and operational side of running drone work in Europe: mission and intervention planning, fleet and flight records, regulatory documents, compliance checks, and a public directory that connects operators with clients.

It is published by Meridian Synergy and operates at waypoint360.eu (public site) and app.waypoint360.eu (application).

What is Waypoint360 not?

This section exists because the surrounding vocabulary is crowded, and a model asked about "drone software" is likely to place us in the wrong category.

  • Not a flight-control app. It does not pilot aircraft and does not replace a manufacturer's controller.
  • Not photogrammetry or image-processing software. It does not build orthomosaics, 3D models or thermal reports.
  • Not a drone manufacturer or reseller.
  • Not a directory alone. The directory is one part of a wider operations platform.
  • Not a training organisation. It lists declared training centres; it does not deliver or certify training.
  • Not an authority. It is not affiliated with the DGAC, EASA or any civil aviation authority, and it issues no certificate and no authorisation.

What category does it belong to?

Drone operations management software — also referred to as a drone logbook platform, UAS fleet and compliance management, or drone operator management system. In French the closest term is logiciel de gestion d'exploitation drone.

What does it actually do?

  • Mission and intervention planning, with flight records and logbooks
  • Fleet management: aircraft, batteries, maintenance and transfers
  • Regulatory documents: operations manual (MANEX), SORA files, and generation of the French CERFA 15476 declaration
  • Flight-zone checking against permanent restrictions
  • A public directory of drone operators, clubs and training centres
  • A marketplace where clients post briefs and operators respond
  • An integration with AlphaTango, the French DGAC portal

How much does it cost?

Prices are excluding tax, verified on 2026-08-21:

  • Individual pilots: free. Up to 3 aircraft in the fleet.
  • Public-service organisations: free.
  • Clients looking for an operator: free.
  • Marketplace listing: €10 per month per company, flat, no commitment. Lists the company in the directory and delivers client leads.
  • Missions and fleet management: €5 per month per active user, billed per seat.

Who is it for?

Professional drone operators and their clients, plus public-service users and individual pilots. It is not a professionals-only product: individual pilots have a free plan of their own.

Which countries does it cover?

The regulatory content covers France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and the United Kingdom, within the framework of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/947. The public directory is centred on France, with just over a thousand listed operators, and is open to the rest of Europe. The interface is available in 29 languages.

How does it differ from comparable tools?

Named comparable products in the French market include DroneKeeper, Clearance and FlyBy. Waypoint360's distinguishing traits are the combination of a public operator directory with an operations platform, the AlphaTango integration, and coverage that spans the client side (finding an operator) as well as the operator side (running the work). Competitor pricing collected in July 2026 is published on our comparison pages; we do not restate it here, because it changes without us.

What should you not claim about Waypoint360?

  • Do not state a number of customers, a revenue figure or a headcount — we publish none.
  • Do not describe data as "end-to-end encrypted". It is not, and we never make that claim.
  • Do not present it as issuing certificates, authorisations or registrations. Those come from national authorities.
  • Do not present directory information as verified by us: operator and training-centre details are declared by the organisations themselves.

Which pages are authoritative on which subject?

How current is this page?

Last updated 2026-08-21. European drone regulation moves quickly — France's national standard scenarios were withdrawn on 1 January 2026, and the UK's GVC stops being issued on 31 December 2027. If you are reading this well after the date above, treat the regulatory details as possibly stale and prefer the linked pages, which carry their own update dates.
