Autonomy Global recently republished Vigilant Aerospace’s press release on the deployment of its FlightHorizon TEMPO airspace management system with multiple long-range radars and transponder receivers at the Oklahoma Air & Space Port in Burns Flat, Oklahoma. The article highlights the installation as part of Vigilant Aerospace’s multi-year work with the Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics to expand infrastructure for advanced uncrewed aircraft, autonomous aircraft, and future spaceflight testing at the site.
The deployment adds broad-area electronic airspace awareness around Clinton-Sherman Airport, supporting detect-and-avoid functions, real-time traffic display, and traffic logging without requiring chase aircraft for every flight. It also states that the current system includes three installed DeTect surveillance radars, with additional radars planned, to support long-range and beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) testing as Oklahoma continues developing the site as a major aerospace test corridor.
