Insitu Pacific announced on 1 April that it successfully completed test flights of a ScanEagle tactical unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) fitted with the vision-based ‘Detect and Avoid’ (DAA) autonomous technology it developed jointly with Boeing Australia.

The DAA solution, which was designed and built in Australia, is meant to enhance the detection ranges between an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) and other airspace users, advancing the ability to safely integrate the UAS into different classes of airspace, the company said in a statement.

Andrew Duggan, managing director at Insitu Pacific, noted that after more than five years of development, this capability is now “ready to field in real-world operations”, especially after the DAA managed to detect another aircraft at a distance of more than one nautical mile during the latest tests, pointing out that this goes “beyond the requirements for safe avoidance”.
