Project Summary
We will test the feasibility of a new detect and avoid systems for UAVs.In previous work we reached TRL2 for a) an audio-phonic based system b) a vision-based system. Each approach has its pros and cons, but when fused a robust system is achieved. The separate TRL2 solutions will be taken to TRL4 fused all-in-one solution, using robotics + artificial intelligence techniques.The feasibility of the fused system will be tested on a high-fidelity simulation rig, the aim being to show we can detect craft at a distance of 3 to 5Km and to classify the UFO as an aeroplane, helicopter, UAVor bird flock.
