Technology Spotlight
Collisionless flying of unmanned aerial vehicles
Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center
As the application of UAVs becomes more widespread and the number of UAVs deployed in those applications increases, collision avoidance becomes increasingly important.
The Army has developed a system and method for ensuring collisionless flight of three or more UAVs. The system is simple and scalable. Each UAV does not require any collision avoidance sensors or knowledge of the position of other UAVs in the area and does not require communication with other UAVs. Additionally, any UAVs may be a heterogeneous mix of various types, and each UAV flies according to the same flying rules.
Businesses can license this technology for commercial development.
