Vigilant Aerospace Systems

Vigilant Aerospace Systems is a flight automation and safety systems for both manned and unmanned aircraft.

Vigilant Aerospace provides a complete, easy-to-use and well-tested “detect-and-avoid” (DAA) collision avoidance and situational awareness solution for unmanned aircraft to fly beyond line-of-sight in the national airspace. We have exclusively licensed NASA’s patent and software to deliver detect-and-avoid using both aircraft transponders and other sensors, like micro-radars and camera systems. The software runs on a laptop or tablet and provides the pilot with collision avoidance commands as well as a 3D synthetic cockpit view, weather and navigational data, detailed flight logging and other functions. The system has been flight tested with FAA observation at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center, where it was invented. It is designed to meet FAA Part 107.30 waiver requirements and RTCA SC-228 MOPS for unmanned detect-and-avoid.
