UAS Flight Testing accomplishes an aviation first.
2015-09-23 14:31:11| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
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.

2015-09-09 14:31:10| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
FAA released beta version of B4UFLY smartphone application for testing by up to 1,000 unmanned aircraft users. Aimed primarily at model aircraft enthusiasts, app gives users information about restrictions or requirements in effect at their current or planned flight location. Status indicator function considers airspace, proximity to airports, temporary flight restrictions, and current law. FAA expects beta test will yield valuable data on how well B4UFLY functions and uncover any software bugs.
