Giovedì, Maggio 9, 2024

OKLAHOMA CITY, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Vigilant Aerospace Systems, the leading developer of multi-sensor airspace management and collision avoidance software for drones and advanced air mobility, has been awarded a $500,000 grant as part of a nearly $1 million project to work with the Oklahoma Aerospace Institute for Research and Education (OAIRE) at Oklahoma State University to develop a distributed version of its detect-and-avoid system.

Key Points: 
  • Vigilant Aerospace also won an OCAST grant in 2019 to work with OSU integrating new radars into its collision avoidance system.
  • While these autonomous vehicles offer significant societal and economic benefits, they require new airspace management paradigms to ensure safe integration into the existing airspace and air traffic.
  • The new corridor serves as the perfect platform for Vigilant's distributed airspace management system to enable true BVLOS flight.
  • "Working with OSU helps to speed our R&D and provide the Skyway Range Flight Corridor with the most advanced airspace management system in the nation," said Kraettli L. Epperson, CEO of Vigilant Aerospace.
