Kongsberg Geospatial, Aireon and uAvionix demonstrate the world’s first integration of Space Based and local ADS-B sensors to provide a fused airspace awareness picture for BVLOS UAS Operations.

Kongsberg Geospatial, along with its partners Aireon and uAvionix, will demonstrate how a space-based ADS-B feed can be fused with a local receiver of ADS-B to create the world’s first demonstration of a “horizonless air picture” for BVLOS operations.  This combined sensor picture, integrated and correlated within the Kongsberg geospatial IRIS Airspace management application provides for the best of both ADS-B worlds: the local accuracy and update rate from the uAvionix PingStation ADS-B receiver combined with the worldwide coverage of the space-based Aireon ADS-B satellite receiver network. 

This integrated and correlated airspace picture provides highly accurate local coverage while eliminating local blind spots caused by terrain or obstacles while providing an over the horizon capability to monitor your own or any other ADS-B emitting aircraft.

Speakers:
Paige Cutland – IRIS Program Director, Kongsberg Geospatial
Demetrius Zuidema – Commercial Data Services, Aireon
