Safe Integration of different Manned and Unmanned Aircrafts into non segregated airspace
Context
The safe integration in non-segregated airspace of the different types of aircraft, manned and unmanned, depends, among other services provided by the UTM (Unmanned Traffic Management), on the fulfillment of the ability to detect and avoid collisions (from the English Collision Avoidance), provided for in Annex 2, Chapter 3, Section 3.2, of the Air Rules of the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization). The ICAO document establishes the procedures for an aircraft with crew, however this capacity also needs to be met in remotely piloted and/or autonomous aircraft, which may need to perform these maneuvers. With the absence of the crew in the cabin, scenarios that lead to situations of insecurity need to be treated remotely, when the link with the pilot is available, or in systems on board the aircraft. For example, (i) a remotely piloted aircraft may lose communication with the pilot and the continuity of a route may lead to a collision risk situation; already (ii) an autonomous aircraft must always have an active detection and avoidance system since all actions will be taken based on this situational awareness information.
Expected Results:
- DAA Subsystem Prototype to board remotely piloted aircraft systems.
- BR-UTM and BR-UAM integration in a simulation environment for CONOPs (Concept of Operations) evaluation.
- Ability to carry out strategic and tactical conflict in simulated demonstrations.
