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 develops multi-sensor detect-and-avoid and airspace management software for uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS). They work with government customers, including the FAA, DOD, and NASA, to enable safe and scalable autonomous flight.
