“…One of the critical issues for air collision avoidance is awareness of air traffic within the local airspace. For vehicles that do not have sufficient sensors or capabilities, a ground-based sense-and-avoid system (GBSAA) has been proposed for numerous aircraft types [119]. The Department of Defense, under an Army program, is in the process of developing and deploying several GBSAA systems in specific areas around the US [120].…”

Abstract:The use of unmanned aerial systems (UASs) in both the public and military environments is predicted to grow significantly. As the demand for UASs grows, the availability of more robust and capable vehicles that can perform multiple mission types will be needed. In the public sector, the demand will grow for UASs to be used for agriculture, forestry, and search and rescue missions. Militaries continue to demand more UAS capabilities for diverse operations around the world. Significant research has been performed and continues to progress in the areas of autonomous UAS control. A majority of the work focuses on subsets of UAS control: path planning, autonomy, small UAS controls, and sensors. Minimal work exists on a system-level problem of multiple-scenario UAS control for integrated systems. This paper provides a high-level modular system architecture definition that is modifiable across platform types and mission requirements. A review of the current research and employment of UAS capabilities is provided to evaluate the state of the capabilities required to enable the proposed architecture.
