UAS Airspace Integration
Abstract
Global Hawk (GH) and the Triton, as well as other Group 3-5 UAS, need a sense-and-avoid (SAA) capability as an alternate means of compliance to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 91.111 and Part 91.113, requirement to see-and-avoid other aircraft. The Global Hawk was selected as the as the flagship platform for Airborne Sense and Avoid (ABSAA). The MQ-4C Triton, MQ-1B Predator, MQ-1C Gray Eagle, and MQ-9 Reaper have similar requirements for SAA capability; their SAA technology development will leverage the Common-ABSAA technology. Development of a Ground Based Sense-and-Avoid (GBSAA) system using existing technology can provide a near-term solution for improved airspace access, both for terminal operations (e.g., Beale AFB, GH transit to/from controlled airspace) and for operations/training within the GBSAA system's coverage area (e.g., Gray Eagle at El Mirage, Shadow operations at Cherry Point). Provides joint funding to support development of standards, modeling and simulation tools, and technology to enable DoD UAS to routinely access the national and international airspace systems.
