The John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences (UND Aerospace) has partnered with Vigilant Aerospace Systems to use the company’s drone safety software and airspace management system, FlightHorizon.
As part of the one-year agreement, Vigilant will provide training for UND Aerospace students and faculty, with full integration of FlightHorizon into the program’s operations and research.
Officials note that 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 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.
