Results from Real BVLOS Flights and Next Steps in Development of Innovative Detect-and-Avoid for BVLOS UAS Flight
a 2021 UAS Summit & Expo presentation
Thursday, October 14, 2021
10:10 – 10:30 am CT
This session will review the state of development of detect-and-avoid systems for unmanned aircraft to allow for safe BVLOS flight of both large and small UAS in the United States, including actual waivered BVLOS flights, technologies used, software and hardware integration, field test results and fully install systems in use today, with photos and analysis.
The presentation will review real BVLOS projects and results that are leading the way to effective, practical detect-and-avoid systems and discuss the mix of processes and technologies necessary to create an effective safety system for UAS.
The session will conclude with insights into industry next steps, the changing regulatory landscape and rapidly emerging industry opportunities.

About the UAS Summit & Expo
The UAS Summit & Expo an annual conference focused on the unmanned aircraft systems industry which started as a small gathering of regional stakeholders. The UAS Summit & Expo started as a small gathering of regional stakeholders. Now, 15 years later, the event in the Northern Plains of North Dakota has become a yearly major event for UAS experts from around the world. It’s the original epicenter of drone research, earned its place as the Silicon Valley of Drones and as you’ll see from the commercial, government and military flight activity filling the sky of the Northern Plains and beyond every day.

Vigilant Aerospace is the leading developer of 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.
