NASA has been leading efforts designed to help integrate unmanned aircraft into the world around us. On June 12, NASA completed a major program milestone by successfully demonstrating the maturity of Detect and Avoid (DAA) technology by flying an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) out in the National Airspace System (NAS). The DAA technology served as alternate means of the Federal Aviation Administration’s “See and Avoid” requirements, allowing NASA to operate their Ikhana aircraft in the NAS without a chase vehicle. The results from this effort will inform potential changes to procedures, rules and regulations involving unmanned aircraft operation in National Airspace.
