Avionics for Operation of Unmanned Aerial Systems Beyond Line of Sight
Our FlightHorizon UAS™ product is an avionics software package that provides traffic and situational awareness, detect-and-avoid, 3D synthetic cockpit views and other flight information for unmanned aircraft using a variety of sensors, including ADS-B In.
FlightHorizon UAS™ is designed to meet the upcoming RTCA SC-228 Phase II Minimum Operating Standards, slated for publication in September 2016 as part of the FAA’s authorization to allow drones to fly beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS). It is also intended to help unmanned operators obtain a sUAS rules Part 107 BVLOS waiver under Section 107.200 of the new regulation.

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.
