UAS Magazine reports that Vigilant Aerospace Systems has installed its FlightHorizon airspace safety system at the Oklahoma Air and Space Port, adding radar and surveillance capability to support flight operations at the site. The article frames the deployment as part of the company’s work in detect-and-avoid and airspace management for uncrewed aircraft systems and places the installation at the Oklahoma Air and Space Port in Burns Flat within the state’s broader autonomous aviation and flight test activity.
The coverage points to the system’s role in improving airspace awareness for advanced operations by combining surveillance inputs into a shared view of nearby traffic and supporting safer coordination in the test range environment. In practical terms, the article presents the installation as another step in building out infrastructure for long-range UAS and other autonomous aircraft activity in Oklahoma.
