The John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences (UND Aerospace) has entered a one-year partnership with Vigilant Aerospace Systems to utilize the company’s drone safety software and airspace management system FlightHorizon. A memorandum of understanding was signed late last year to formalize the agreement.

Last October Vigilant Aerospace kicked off a groundbreaking project for the Air Force Research Laboratory to develop a detect-and-avoid system for the Air Force’s new long-endurance drone. The company has continued to reach important milestones on the path to bringing FlightHorizon PILOT, our dual-use (i.e. for both civilian and military users) onboard detect-and-avoid product, to the military.

Vigilant Aerospaces' FlightHorizon airspace management and uncrewed traffic management (UTM) system has been selected as the airspace management system for the Skyway36 droneport in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Vigilant Aerospace has announced as a strategic partner by DronePort Network to provide Airspace Management, Detect-and-Avoid, and Unmanned Traffic Management for future drone port projects throughout the United States. Vigilant Aerospace’s FlightHorizon solution provides the advanced situational awareness required for safe, scalable autonomous flight.

Vigilant Aerospace Systems announced that it has been awarded a contract by the US Air Force (USAF) to develop a detect-and-avoid system (DAA) for the Air Force’s new long-endurance drone.
