| Descripció: | The sense and avoid capability is one of the greatest challenges that has to be addressed to safely integrate
unmanned aircraft systems into civil and nonsegregated airspace. This paper gives a review of existing regulations,
recommended practices, and standards in sense and avoid for unmanned aircraft systems. Gaps and issues are
identified, as are the different factors that are likely to affect actual sense and avoid requirements. It is found that the
operational environment (flight altitude, meteorological conditions, and class of airspace) plays an important role
when determining the type of flying hazards that the unmanned aircraft system might encounter. In addition, the
automation level and the data-link architecture of the unmanned aircraft system are key factors that will definitely
determine the sense and avoid system requirements. Tactical unmanned aircraft, performing similar missions to
general aviation, are found to be the most challenging systems from an sense and avoid point of view, and further
research and development efforts are still needed before their seamless integration into nonsegregated airspace. |
