The UAV Collaborative offers a wide range of services to support further research, development, and commercial implementation of UAV technologies. Below are some of the major services provided: National Airspace authorization | Flight safety Assurance | Payload/platform selection and integration Image processing | Platform and payload operations | Education and training UAV operations in the US National Airspace System (NAS) currently require FAA Certificates of Authorization. The certification process requires a mechanism whereby the UAV pilot will be able to reliably sense and avoid other air traffic in the operations area. The industry is making significant progress on several support technologies, including GPS navigation, Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADSB), Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS), Mode S secondary surveillance radar (SSR), and Identify Friend/Foe (IFF) transponder. While these technologies are designed to provide information on conflicting aircraft to the ground-based UAV pilot, the requirement to see and avoid aircraft flying under visual flight rules (potentially without a transponder) tends to be a limiting factor at the present time. The UAV Collaborative has addressed this need by acquiring the patent pending Sense-and-Avoid Display System (SAVDS) Innovation. SAVDS provides situational awareness capabilities for LALE (low altitude, long endurance) UAVs. The high-resolution Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) features a georectified topographic basemap overlaid with distinct symbology showing UAV location and speed, along with the location and speed of return targets detected using a portable ground-based radar system. SAVDS enables UAV pilots to be fully aware of the air traffic environment, enabling real-time modifications in the UAV flight path to ensure safe operation.
