Unmanned Aircraft System Detect and Avoid ADS-B Technology
Unmanned Aircraft System Detect and Avoid ADS-B Technology As the number of UAV operations is expected to increase from 33,000 in 2016 to 542,000 in 2020 (FAA,2016), the FAA works toward the integration of UAS in NAS becomes imperative at a time where the agency is still finalizing the implementation of the Next Generation transportation system in the NAS. The integration of the UAS in the controlled and uncontrolled airspace is something that must happen as the engendered benefits of the different applications of UAS in dull, dirty, and dangerous environment outweigh that of the missions employing manned aircraft in the same environment. UAS routine access in the NAS must ensure safety and security come first that technologies, standards, regulations, and procedures must guarantee a “zero tolerance” operations. Among other essential technologies are the “Detect and Avoid” (DAA) mirroring the “See and Avoid” (SAA) performed by manned aircraft pilots executing the 14 CFR 91.1...
