Develop Bird Strike Avoidance Requirements for Remotely Piloted Advanced Air Mobility Operations (A80_A11L.UAS.113)
Bird strikes are an existing aviation safety hazard. Certain Detect and Avoid (DAA) technologies have the potential for enabling both crewed aircraft and drones to avoid flocks of birds and hazardous bird strikes with large birds. Bird Strike avoidance capabilities will help to safely enable a variety of Air Mobility concepts. This research will propose technical requirements and explore the latent capabilities of DAA technologies to enable bird strike avoidance. Research findings will inform industry standards and FAA decisions pertaining to advanced DAA concepts.
