Presented are results of an initial phase of an AFRL/VACC effort to determine the sensing requirements for an autonomous UAV - to replace the pilot's sensing capability with on-board sensors. These sensors need to enable the autonomous execution of airspace tasks, such as conflict avoidance (see & avoid), autonomous landing, and ground operations. Baseline requirements which will allow UAVs to meet near-term airspace integration goals are presented along with impacts and questions future work will have to address. This describes 6.2 work accomplished to set the baseline requirements for future work. Although our work is for the USAF, the portion of work contained in the report is equally applicable to civilian and commercial use since all share controlled airspace. |
