Vigilant Aerospace uses multiple radars in DAA field testing

Vigilant Aerospace has successfully tested multiple radars as part of a project with Oklahoma State University and Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology (OCAST) to develop a distributed detect-and-avoid (DAA) and airspace management system. The project addresses the challenges posed by the growing volume of uncrewed aircraft operating in shared airspace, including inspection and delivery drones, first responder drones, and larger air taxi and cargo drones.

Update on the Vigilant Aerospace Detect-and-Avoid Project for the Air Force Research Lab

Last October Vigilant Aerospace kicked off a groundbreaking project for the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to develop a detect-and-avoid (DAA) system for the Air Force’s new long-endurance drone. The company has continued to reach important milestones on the path to bringing FlightHorizon PILOT, our dual-use (i.e. for both civilian and military users) onboard detect-and-avoid product, to the military.

FlightHorizon Selected to Provide Airspace Management and Detect-and-Avoid for Osage Nation’s Skyway36 Droneport

The facility offers hangar and office space, with vertical takeoff pads for any type of rotary-wing aircraft. Additional space is devoted to aircraft refueling, parking, and an Osage Nation-owned 40-acre industrial park that will hopefully be devoted to advanced aerial manufacturing in the coming years. ` As a part of Skyway 36, the Nation has been on the hunt for traffic management systems, hoping to secure the local airspace and institute some kind of control scheme before it gets too crowded. They picked Flight Horizon to do the honors, an uncrewed traffic management system created by Vigilant Aerospace. The system will help bolster Skyway 36’s case as the premier “airport for drones” and later AAM aircraft.
