University of North Dakota and Vigilant Aerospace Systems partner to advance UAS training and research.
The University of North Dakota, John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences has entered a one-year partnership with Vigilant Aerospace Systems to use the company's drone safety software and airspace management system FlightHorizon.
As part of the agreement, Vigilant Aerospace will provide training for UND Aerospace students and faculty, with full integration of FlightHorizon into the program's operations and research expected by summer. FlightHorizon uses NASA-patented technology to provide detect-and-avoid alerts during beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations. This initiative aligns with UND Aerospace's commitment to advancing UAS traffic management and counter-autonomy and UAS (C-UAS) measures, areas increasingly relevant in light of recent drone sightings near critical infrastructure in New Jersey.
