DronePort Network has announced the launch of its Community Airspace Awareness Project (CAAP) at Ardmore Industrial Airpark and Mid America Industrial Park. The project addresses growing concerns over low-altitude airspace conflicts caused by the increasing use of drones and autonomous aircraft.
The use of commercial drones is rapidly expanding across industries due to their versatility and efficiency in tasks ranging from aerial photography and surveying to delivery services and agriculture. The rise of autonomous flight systems has further enhanced their appeal, enabling cost-effective operations in sectors like logistics and disaster response. This trend is driven by the growing demand for faster, more adaptable solutions, making drones a valuable tool for many commercial purposes.
CAAP aims to provide real-time airspace monitoring and safety improvements at local airports and surrounding communities through airspace awareness. At the heart of the project is Vigilant Aerospace’s FlightHorizon system, which enhances airspace management by providing real-time monitoring, traffic alerts and long-term reporting at both locations.

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.
