DroneFirms recently covered the launch of FlightHorizon™ ALERT, the fully managed airspace awareness and alerting service from Vigilant Aerospace Systems. The article describes how the service helps general aviation airports, critical infrastructure sites and industrial facilities monitor nearby aircraft and drone activity in low-altitude airspace.
The coverage explains that FlightHorizon ALERT uses a receiver unit to detect aircraft transponders and drone Remote ID broadcasts. Detected traffic is displayed on a secure, web-based 3D map, and the system can automatically send text and email notifications when an aircraft or drone enters a configured alert zone. Each alert includes a secure replay link showing the aircraft or drone’s route, speed and available identification information.
DroneFirms also highlights the service’s preconfigured outdoor hardware, subscription-based delivery model and support for multiple receiver units at larger sites. Cellular and satellite connectivity options can support installations at remote locations without convenient access to standard internet service.
