FlightHorizon COMMANDER is an airspace administration and detect-and-avoid system based mostly on two licensed NASA patents. The system can be utilized on the bottom or onboard plane and is designed to assist preserve uncrewed plane methods (UAS or drones) protected and to keep away from collisions.
RIMPAC 22 marks the historic, first-time participation of U.S. Air Power MQ-9 UAS within the train.
From the US Air Power assertion on the flights: “RIMPAC 2022 marks the primary look of the MQ-9A Reaper, a remotely piloted plane, and its presence introduced in army groups from California, New Mexico and Nevada. With personnel from each the active-duty ingredient, Reserves and Air Nationwide Guard, the collective group ensures that it’s totally operational. All of the whereas, everybody learns new strategies that it’ll take to enhance their day-to-day operations upon returning house.”

RIMPAC is the world’s largest worldwide maritime train involving greater than 40 ships, 30 UAS and 150 plane from 27 associate nations. The 2022 train takes place late June to early August.
“Vigilant Aerospace is thrilled to assist this large-scale train. The capabilities being demonstrated on land, sea and air require unprecedented coordination throughout a number of domains and with a number of nations’ armed forces. Assist of this train is an particularly helpful demonstration of the multi-sensor and multi-data supply capabilities of FlightHorizon and the power to trace a whole bunch of targets concurrently,” stated Kraettli L. Epperson, CEO of Vigilant Aerospace.
FlightHorizon COMMANDER is an airspace administration system used to correlate and show air visitors and different knowledge from all kinds of sources together with ground-based and airborne sensors, civilian air visitors knowledge, army knowledge and proprietary knowledge sources. It’s dual-use expertise that gives computerized visitors warnings and deconfliction as a built-in operate.
“We’re particularly excited to assist the US Air Power’s historic MQ-9 flights and different uncrewed plane methods throughout RIMPAC. Utilizing the newest expertise for each command and management and for security helps reveal this yr’s theme of ‘Succesful Adaptive Companions’,” stated Epperson.
FlightHorizon features a 3D transferring map show for air visitors situational consciousness, air navigation charts, climate knowledge, particular options for the monitoring and security of uncrewed plane methods (UAS) and computerized detect-and-avoid features.
The product relies on two licensed NASA patents and has been utilized in ongoing NASA supersonic tasks, in FAA detect-and-avoid tasks and in modern civilian UAS tasks round flight corridors and droneports. The corporate holds a US Division of Protection IDIQ to assist army adoption of the system for UAS and airspace security.
