In anticipation of future threats, BlueHalo has launched VigilantHalo, a software-driven integration platform tailored for real-time airspace Command-and-Control (C2). VigilantHalo’s adaptable architecture facilitates various missions such as air traffic control (ATC), beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations, and Counter-Uncrewed Aerial Systems (C-UAS).
In addition to its national security and National Airspace System (NAS) air traffic control capabilities, VigilantHalo is a complete situational awareness solution for disaster response and critical infrastructure defense with radar and multi-sensor surveillance that can be tailored to suit specific mission and application needs and deployed to cloud, mobile, or fixed-site installations.
“Drones are rapidly evolving our national security landscape and will soon transform commerce, transportation, and many other elements of our daily lives,” said James Batt, BlueHalo Chief Growth Officer. “VigilantHalo is a critical tool for our government and industry partners to implement now in order to keep our airways and communities safe in the future.”
Featuring VigilantHalo’s integrated data processing, fusion tracker, and communications system, operators can effectively monitor and manage air traffic in diverse environments while receiving crucial internal and external system health updates. Informed by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) mesoscale predictions and weather stations, this system delivers weather-based flight path analytics services, pinpointing potential safety hazards. Powered by a custom-built state-of-the-art Sensor Data Processor (SDP), VigilantHalo seamlessly integrates various sensor types and surveillance data feeds into a tailored display to suit specific mission requirements (e.g., ATC, BVLOS, Air Defense, BMC2, Missile Defense, etc.).
BlueHalo recently unveiled VigilantHalo during a demonstration held at Camp Atterbury in Edinburgh, Indiana, attended by military leaders, state officials, and industry partners. The demonstration highlighted VigilantHalo’s capabilities in BVLOS UAS mission controls, detect and avoid (DAA) features, as well as its ability to detect and track non-cooperative or malicious UAS and counter-UAS (C-UAS) systems. VigilantHalo was showcased within a Nomad Tactical Command Vehicle during the demonstration, emphasizing its mobility, ease of integration, and adaptable nature to cater to diverse mission requirements.
“Our customers are excited about this system because it fills a giant void for complete UAS and C-UAS airspace command and control,” said Mary Clum, BlueHalo Sector President. “VigilantHalo is another example of how BlueHalo is meeting the mission with technological innovation to support our warfighters.”
