ACC2033865 - FortiSky: Vision-based Detect and Avoid System for BVLOS Police UAV Operations

The UK Ministry of Defence is procuring the FortiSky vision-based Detect and Avoid (DAA) system from Vizgard Ltd for a value of GBP 249,517 to enable Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations of police UAVs. This system utilizes FortifAI technology to provide 360° visual detection, tracking, and avoidance of aerial objects like drones via processing multiple video streams on edge computers. It builds on prior DASA-funded demonstrations integrating with partners like Cambridge Pixel for police drone monitoring, enhancing UK defence and public safety autonomy in UAV missions.
