SecurityInfoWatch has published coverage of Vigilant Aerospace Systems’ launch of FlightHorizon ALERT, a fully managed airspace awareness and alerting service for general aviation airports, critical infrastructure sites and other facilities that need better visibility into nearby aircraft and drones. The article presents the service as an affordable, easy-to-deploy option for monitoring low-altitude airspace without requiring constant attention or complex infrastructure.
The coverage highlights FlightHorizon ALERT’s preconfigured receiver unit, secure web-based moving map and automatic text and email notifications. Each alert includes a secure replay link that allows users to review an event from the beginning, including the aircraft or drone’s flight path, speed and available identification information. SecurityInfoWatch also notes that detected traffic is logged for later visualization, reporting and analysis.
The article examines applications around runways, approach surfaces, facility perimeters, restricted areas and industrial sites. It also describes the service’s use of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) signals to track cooperative aircraft and Remote ID broadcasts to detect compliant drones.
