U.S: “State of Oklahoma Launches First Investment in AAM Infrastructure”

The Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics (ODAA) has completed the selection process and executed a contract for the state’s first investment in “an airspace management system and automatic detect-and-avoid solution to support both drone flights and the rapidly emerging Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) industry,” reports a press release. A local company, Vigilant Aerospace, is to deploy this system on behalf of the Oklahoma Space industry Development Authority (OSIDA).

UND Aerospace and Vigilant Advance UAS Education

The field of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) is rapidly evolving, pushing the boundaries of technology and application. The recent partnership between UND Aerospace and Vigilant Aerospace Systems marks a significant step forward in UAS education and research. This collaboration aims to integrate cutting-edge drone safety software and airspace management systems into academic programs, preparing students for future challenges in aerospace technology.

UND Aerospace and Vigilant team up

A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed late last year to formalise the agreement, which will see Vigilant Aerospace provide training for UND Aerospace students and faculty, with full integration of FlightHorizon into the programme’s operations and research expected by summer. Further, the initiative aligns with UND Aerospace’s commitment to advancing UAS traffic management (UTM) and C-UAS measures, areas increasingly relevant in light of recent drone sightings near critical infrastructure in New Jersey.

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.

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

Vigilant Aerospace’s FlightHorizon airspace management and uncrewed traffic management (UTM) system has been selected as the airspace management system for the Skyway36 droneport in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Skyway36 is a leading droneport in the United States and serves as an “airport for drones” and for larger Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) aircraft, like air taxis.

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.
