Improved Air Domain Awareness for the Integration of Drones into the Airspace
FY 2024-25 · 2024-09-02
Summary
The Project is focused on innovative technologies used to support the integration of drones in our national airspace and builds off of the advances we developed in our previous ADA project. The development of these technologies will significantly enhance air domain awareness (ADA) and decision support capabilities in Accipiter’s existing surveillance products and services and support two emerging applications: (i) flying drones safely beyond visual line of sight through detect and alert (DAA) technology instead of visual observers in order to avoid mid-air collisions of concern to regulators such as Transport Canada and NAV CANADA; and (ii) protecting airports, low-flying crewed aircraft, critical infrastructure, the public and law enforce

Description (French)
Le projet est axé sur les technologies innovantes utilisées pour soutenir l’intégration des drones dans notre espace aérien national et s’appuie sur les progrès réalisés dans le cadre de notre précédent projet ADA. Le développement de ces technologies améliorera considérablement la connaissance du domaine aérien (ADA) et les capacités d’aide à la décision dans les produits et services de surveillance existants d’Accipiter et soutiendra deux applications émergentes : (i) faire voler les drones en toute sécurité au-delà de la ligne de visée visuelle grâce à la technologie de détection et d’alerte (DAA) au lieu d’observateurs visuels afin d’éviter les collisions en vol qui préoccupent les organismes de réglementation tels que Transports Canada et NAV CANADA ; et (ii) protéger les aéroports, les aéronefs à équipage volant à basse altitude, les infrastructures essentielles, le public et les forces de l’ordre.
