Common-Airborne Sense & Avoid (C-ABSAA)

Abstract

RDT&E funding in this project supports design, development, integration, and testing of a Common Airborne Sense and Avoid(C-ABSAA) capability for Group 3-5 Unmanned Aircraft Systems(UAS) on a yet to be determined Threshold Platform. Ongoing activities include technology development and maturation, sub-system integration and risk reduction activities. C-ABSAA is a separate ACAT II program in the Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction phase of the acquisition lifecycle, supports the "Worldwide Operations" Key Performance Parameter (KPP) found in larger UAS requirement documents, and provides the ability for UAS integration into the National Airspace System (NAS) and full worldwide UAS operations across all mission environments. Funding covers the Common Airborne Sense and Avoid development activities as well as program infrastructure and other government costs. Platform specific integration and testing is not included. Activities also include C-ABSAA related studies and analysis supporting current and future C-ABSAA system capabilities, program planning and project execution.
