Sense-and-avoid technology will play an essential role in integrating UAVs into the National Airspace System (NAS), ensuring a reliable and safe flightpath. This technology will also assist in expanding flights beyond line of sight, which the FAA currently prohibits and essentially constrains the distance of flights. The use cases for sense-and-avoid technology are obvious; find out what will happen next as it continues to develop.

Vigilant Aerospace is the leading developer of detect-and-avoid and airspace management software for uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS or drones). The company’s product, FlightHorizon, is based on two NASA patents and uses data from multiple sources to display a real-time picture of the air traffic around a UAS and to provide automatic avoidance maneuvers to prevent collisions. The software is designed to meet industry technical standards, to provide automatic safety and to allow UAS to safely fly beyond the sight of the pilot. The software has won multiple industry awards and the company has had contracts and users at NASA, the FAA, the U.S. Department of Defense and with a variety of drone development programs.
