Adaptive Surveillance & Guidance System for Vehicle Collision Avoidance & Interception

Technology Benefits

ΓÇóThis technology meets a need that has not yet been satisfied in the quickly growing UAS industry and other remote guidance industries including ground and marine vehiclesΓÇóUses highly regulated right-of-way rules to avoid airborne collision threats in the same way as an actual piloted aircraft would maneuver

Technology Application

ΓÇóSafely guides unmanned aircraft vehicles within the National Airspace System (NAS) while avoiding threats such as manned aircraft, other UAS vehicles, man-made obstacles, trees, and terrainΓÇóGuides land craft to avoid obstacles and other vehiclesΓÇóGuides marine craft to avoid submerged obstacles as well as those on the water surface

Detailed Technology Description

Automatic Dependent Surveillance for automated flight control and collision prevention which uses an embedded computer using precise algorithms designed to ensure safe flights of Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) vehicles.The sense and avoid (SAA) technology's real-time self-separation and collision avoidance algorithms within the flight computer can track neighboring ADS-B Out equipped air traffic and operated 4D trajectory changes whenever one or more declared intruders are predicted not to remain "Well Clear" or to enter a Near Mid-Air Collision (NMAC) course with the UAS according to its flight path. The SAA technology also uses other forms of tracking and measurement in conjunction to detect and avoid obstacles that are not equipped with ADS-B Out.
