Military + Aerospace Electronics recently covered the launch of FlightHorizon ALERT, the fully managed airspace awareness and alerting service from Vigilant Aerospace Systems. The article explains how the system helps general aviation airports, critical infrastructure sites and other facilities monitor nearby aircraft and drones without requiring personnel to continuously watch an airspace display.
The coverage highlights how FlightHorizon ALERT uses Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) In and Remote ID data to display detected traffic on a web-based 3D map. When an aircraft or drone triggers a configured alert, the system can automatically send a text message or email containing a secure replay link. Users can review the aircraft or drone’s route, speed and available identification information while maintaining event records for later reporting and analysis.
Military + Aerospace Electronics also describes the service’s simplified deployment model. FlightHorizon ALERT combines preconfigured outdoor hardware with web-based software and can support standard internet, cellular or satellite connectivity. Multiple receiver units can be connected to the same account when a larger facility requires broader coverage.

About Military + Aerospace Electronics
Military + Aerospace Electronics reports on electronic systems and enabling technologies used throughout the defense and aerospace industries. Its coverage includes commercial off-the-shelf technologies, electronic design trends, emerging standards, programs, contracts, sensors, communications and uncrewed 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.
