Vigilant Aerospace Systems has provided a new update on its ongoing project with the Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics (ODAA) to develop advanced airspace infrastructure supporting beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone operations and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM).
The project, centred at the Oklahoma Air & Space Port, is deploying a scalable, multi-sensor airspace management system designed to support autonomous aircraft testing and future commercial operations. The system combines radar, transponder and sensor data to deliver real-time airspace awareness, automatic detect-and-avoid functionality, and persistent tracking across a wide operational area.
As part of the deployment, advanced radar systems from DeTect, Inc. are providing critical surveillance capability for both cooperative and non-cooperative aircraft. The integrated radar infrastructure supports safe, scalable BVLOS operations without the need for traditional chase aircraft or large teams of visual observers.
The initiative represents a significant milestone in the development of next-generation airspace management infrastructure for autonomous aviation, military UAS testing, cargo drones, and future air mobility operations.
