As we move closer to the day when on-board piloted aircraft and their remotely piloted counterparts safely share the National Airspace System (NAS) it is important that all the technologies required to make it happen are on the right development track.

Detect and Avoid (DAA) is one of the most important technological components of this integration strategy given the important role it plays in replacing the traditional role of the pilot on board. Let’s face it, all we are doing is providing uncrewed aircraft with the capabilities of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified human pilot, and while we do that, add a few technological advances, including Artificial Intelligence and automatic integration of multiple data sources in real time.

To understand how DAA development is progressing we reached out to Kraettli Epperson, CEO, Vigilant Aerospace Systems, an Oklahoma City-based company.

About Vigilant Aerospace Systems

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.
