FlightHorizon: Fully Autonomous Detect-and-Avoid for Unmanned Aircraft Systems – Current Capabilities and Future Trends The presentation will be made by CEO Kraettli Epperson and will feature FlightHorizon, the fully autonomous detect-and-avoid solution for unmanned aircraft. Based on an exclusively licensed NASA patent and prototype, FlightHorizon allows unmanned aircraft to detect, track and avoid other aircraft and can send commands for evasive maneuvers to a pilot or directly to an autopilot to get aircraft well clear of potential conflicts quickly and efficiently. The system uses algorithms and flight rules to deliver a complete solution for safety and regulatory compliance for beyond visual line-of-sight flying.
