FAA Contract For BVLOS Operations Goes To uAvionix

Project To Develop Skyway UAS Range In Oklahoma

uAvionix announced it has been awarded a contract by the Oklahoma Aerospace Institute for Research and Education (OAIRE) to develop the Skyway UAS Range near Tulsa.

uAvionix, based in Bigfork, Montana, provides infrastructure services and avionics for crewed and uncrewed aircraft. This project will include its deployment of networked Command & Control and Detect & Avoid services to enable uncrewed aircraft operations Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) from node to node on the Skyway. The system will provide those services through the use of uAvionix’s Skyline Cloud-based service, the same system used in the company’s recent FAA exemption for BLVOS flights in North Dakota. Integral to the project’s operations is that each node along the Skyway consists of radar, ADS-B receivers, computer vision technologies, aviation weather monitoring, and radios that provide situational awareness to maintain airspace deconfliction and safety.

The Skyway Range is an extension of projects under the new Tulsa Regional Advanced Mobility (TRAM) Cluster. Also working on the project with TRAM and OAIRE are Oklahoma State University, Tulsa Innovation Labs, and the Osage Nation as part of a larger effort to connect the Osage Nation’s Skyway 36 Droneport in Tulsa with the Skyway and additional nodes in the region.
