UAS Flight Testing accomplishes an aviation first.

Evolving technologies necessary for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) to safely avoid other aircraft while in flight were tested using NASA's remotely piloted Ikhana aircraft. Equipped with Detect-and-Avoid (DAA) sensors working with airborne- and ground-based computers, Ikhana made 11 flights involving 200+ scripted encounters with approaching aircraft. Actions taken by Ikhana included taking action on its own via programmed maneuvers and alerting remote pilot to take action.
