As we move closer to the day when on-board piloted aircraft and their remotely piloted counterparts safely share the National Airspace System (NAS) it is important that all the technologies required to make it happen are on the right development track.
Detect and Avoid (DAA) is one of the most important technological components of this integration strategy given the important role it plays in replacing the traditional role of the pilot on board. Let’s face it, all we are doing is providing uncrewed aircraft with the capabilities of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified human pilot, and while we do that, add a few technological advances, including Artificial Intelligence and automatic integration of multiple data sources in real time.

To understand how DAA development is progressing we reached out to Kraettli Epperson, CEO, Vigilant Aerospace Systems, an Oklahoma City-based company.
