FlySight and HR Smith to Showcase Personnel Locator System Simulation at Global Defence Aviation 2026

Warsaw( Poland), 20 October 2026:

FlySight and HR Smith will present a Personnel Locator System Simulation at Global Defence Aviation (GDA) 2026 in Warsaw, demonstrating how FlySight’s OPENSIGHT software can support the integration and simulation of specialised avionics systems within a mission environment.

The demonstration, available from Tuesday, 20 October, will showcase the collaboration between the two companies, combining HR Smith’s expertise in airborne Personnel Locator Systems with FlySight’s software capabilities and its OPENSIGHT mission system ecosystem.

OPENSIGHT is designed to integrate heterogeneous sensors, systems and data sources into a common operational environment. Through its modular architecture, the software enables mission information to be visualised, managed and exchanged, supporting the integration of different capabilities within complex airborne mission scenarios.

The Personnel Locator System Simulation highlights the role of software-based integration in bringing specialised avionics capabilities into a broader mission context. It also reflects the importance of interoperability in modern airborne operations, where systems must work together to provide operators with coherent and accessible mission information.

The collaboration between FlySight and HR Smith demonstrates how complementary expertise can contribute to the development and evaluation of integrated mission capabilities.
