Safety in numbers – Standards-compliant multi-sensor detect-and-avoid
I’ve listened to many customers describe the type of Detect-and-Avoid (DAA) needs they have for their concept of operations (ConOps), usually pausing to ask about their existing knowledge of DAA and generally hearing responses that are informed by “industry knowledge.” While most of the community working in the uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) industry is well-informed, there are recurring themes that would benefit from the subtle distinction about what is, and importantly, what is not DAA.
