DronePort Network has announced the selection of ResilienX, Inc. as partner for the development of a Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) airspace environment in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
This initiative is part of the Secure Autonomy Feedback and Evaluation Test Bed (SAFE-T) project, funded by the US Economic Development Administration (EDA) through the Tulsa Tech Hub. The contract, which will span four years, will enable the creation of an urban BVLOS testing environment. ResilienX will lead the design, integration, and implementation of critical infrastructure components including a centralised data exchange, surveillance fusion capabilities, system monitoring tools, and regulatory pathway development.
The project will create the necessary infrastructure for testing and validating advanced, highly automated drone operations. The airspace environment will support diverse use cases including emergency response, infrastructure inspection, and deliveries while providing critical data for regulatory advancement. Implementation is scheduled to begin in May 2025, with initial system capabilities operational by early 2026.
ResilienX has previously implemented BVLOS corridors in the United States, including projects with NUAIR, AeroX, NASA, and the US Air Force. The company’s AAM OptiX platform, which will be used in Tulsa, is a development of its foundational FRAIHMWORK software, which monitors the health, integrity, and performance of systems involved in scaled advanced air mobility and uncrewed aerial system operations.
To deliver on the SAFE-T project vision, ResilienX has teamed with NUAIR (waiver and regulatory support), Sunhillo (surveillance data acquisition and fusion), Assured Information Security (cybersecurity monitoring), and VOTIX (command and control orchestration).
