Sensor systems typically operate under resource constraints that prevent the simultaneous
use of all resources all of the time. Sensor management becomes relevant when the sensing …

Within the past few years, civilian demand for small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS),
commonly referred to as drones, has skyrocketed. The passage of the Federal Aviation …

With the continuous expansion of the small unmanned aircraft market, the collision risk
problem for small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) has been increasingly highlighted. In …

Unmanned Aircraft Systems require an ability to sense and avoid other air traffic to gain
access to civil airspace and meet requirements in civil aviation regulations. One sense and …

The aircraft collision avoidance problem can be formulated using a decision-theoretic
planning framework where the optimal behavior requires balancing the competing …

Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) will be required to equip with sense-and-avoid (SAA)
systems in order to fulfill the regulatory requirement to remain “well clear” of other air traffic …

In view of the SESAR and NextGEN objectives of increasing both the capacity and the safety
of the Air Traffic Management (ATM) system, there is a need to conduct safety risk analysis of …

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) is a
widely-deployed safety system for reducing the risk of mid-air collision between aircraft …

One of the most critical challenges to full integration of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) into
the National Airspace System (NAS) is the requirement to comply with CFR 14 Part 91.113 …

TCAS II is a rule-based airborne collision avoidance system (ACAS) that is used in current
commercial air transport operations, and ACAS Xa is a new optimization-based system …
