Since the launch of ChatGPT in 2023, Artificial Intelligence or AI has been prominent in our daily lexicon, our investments and let’s face it, our jobs. That’s why this week I decided to consult three AI engines, ChatGPT, Grok, and Copilot (Microsoft 365 access) about the possibilities of having a full integration of crewed and uncrewed aviation in the next few years. The results were disappointing to say the least.
To start with, over 50% of the references to their “analysis” were articles published in Commercial UAV News, 20% from other online publications (including Wikipedia!) and the rest from the FAA and NASA websites. In other words, there is not a lot of people talking or writing about this integration and that was a discovery in itself.
Editor Juan Plaza outlines the possibilities, challenges, and recent developments shaping this integration, focusing on safety, efficiency, and equitable airspace access.
Read the full story here, and how Vigilant Aerospace’s technology is contributing.
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.
