North Dakota demonstrates multi-use BVLOS operations on Vantis

The Northern Plains UAS Test Site hosted live BVLOS demonstrations on the Vantis network on 16 September for state aviation officials. Demonstrations included a CVS Health medical-supply concept and agricultural operations, with SkyfireAI, Kelly Hills Unmanned and Thales among the participants.

The interesting part is shared infrastructure supporting different aircraft and missions, rather than another isolated waiver demonstration.

Operators planning BVLOS services should watch how surveillance, communications and airspace services become reusable infrastructure instead of project-specific integrations.
