Sunhillo Corporation has confirmed its participation as a key team member in the Battle Creek Unlimited MICH-AIR Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) System program, with ResilienX serving as the prime contractor.
ResilienX has been selected to develop the ground-based sense and avoid system for MICH-AIR, the advanced air mobility hub under development at the Battle Creek Executive Airport (BTL). The system will enable remote and autonomous aircraft operations in Battle Creek and is designed to be scalable across Michigan and beyond.
Under the program, Sunhillo will provide acquisition, distribution, and fusion of surveillance data from radar and ADS-B sources. These capabilities will support the delivery of a clear, un-cluttered surveillance display to enhance situational awareness of both crewed and uncrewed aircraft.
Sunhillo’s cloud-based SureLine® Software, utilizing its multi-track fuser, will be deployed within the system. The multi-track fuser enables the fusion of overlapping radars, Remote ID, and ADS-B receivers, preventing the display of multiple tracks for the same aircraft and decluttering the overall air picture.
In addition, Sunhillo will provide radar data tuning to help ensure a clean and accurate surveillance picture. Combined with SureLine’s cloud-based multi-track fusion, these core technologies are intended to deliver a comprehensive and coherent surveillance view for BVLOS operations.
The MICH-AIR program represents Sunhillo’s third program as part of an OPTIX team led by ResilienX, following work on the Tulsa SAFE-T program and the recently concluded CCRPP program with AFWERX/NASA.
