Vigilant Aerospace Systems recently sponsored and attended the UAS Tech Forum in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, the annual event hosted by the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Cluster Initiative of Oklahoma and Kansas. The forum brings together industry, research, education, and government stakeholders to discuss current commercial UAS needs, technical advances, and regional collaboration across the southern mid-west.
This year’s event included representatives from NASA, Kratos Unmanned, the University of Oklahoma, Wichita State University, Oklahoma State University, Metro Technology Centers, Tulsa Tech, and Vigilant Aerospace Systems, along with state leaders including Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin. In her welcoming address, Governor Fallin pointed to the growth and expanding applications of the industry, saying,
“It’s exciting to see all the investment that we’re getting with UAS technology.” She added, “It’s becoming more and more driven by different needs within our national, worldwide economy. You can use it [a drone] for so many different things.”
For Vigilant Aerospace, the forum provided an opportunity to connect with regional leaders working to advance uncrewed aircraft systems, commercial adoption, and supporting aerospace infrastructure. Events like the UAS Tech Forum continue to serve as an important venue for collaboration among companies, universities, and public agencies shaping the future of the industry.
About the UAS Tech Forum
The UAS Tech Forum is an annual event organized by the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Cluster Initiative of Oklahoma and Kansas. It brings together industry professionals, researchers, educators, and government representatives to examine commercial UAS requirements, technical developments, and regional opportunities for collaboration.
Vigilant Aerospace is the leading developer of multi-sensor 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.
