Vantis, North Dakota’s beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) system, has announced the onboarding of Frontier Precision as its second ‘champion operator’. Frontier Precision has secured a new FAA waiver for BVLOS operations, expanding its operational capabilities available through the Vantis service volumes.
The waiver is aircraft‑agnostic for systems under 55 pounds, allowing Frontier Precision to operate any compliant aircraft within the four established Vantis volumes, more than 5,000 square miles of managed airspace.
The partnership between Vantis and Frontier Precision will continue to expand network capabilities. Upcoming efforts include onboarding Group 3 VTOL aircraft, up to 1,320 pounds, for long‑endurance missions, and advancing emerging applications such as autonomous swarm operations for agriculture.
Vantis’ capabilities were demonstrated during the Vantis Fly Day on May 28 at Gorman Field, North Dakota. The event featured live BVLOS demonstrations, NDAA‑compliant aircraft, sensors and Frontier Precision’s mobile command trailer.
