When DJI put sense and avoid technology in its DJI Phantom 4 back in August 2016, it blew minds. Such smart technology in a consumer drone seemed unheard of. Fast-forward less than 10 years later, and you can find such technology in drones under $500. Even $1,000 drones have multiple sensors that can detect objects at all angles. So what’s next for detect and avoid technology. Companies like Vigilant Aerospace aren’t stopping there.
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.
