Sensor Uncertainty Mitigation and Dynamic Well Clear Volumes in DAIDALUS

Abstract

This paper presents recent updates to DAIDALUS (Detect & Avoid Alerting Logic for Unmanned Systems), a detect and avoid (DAA) software package for the integration of civil UAS into the airspace. DAIDALUS is the reference implementation of detect and avoid for unmanned aircraft systems chosen by RTCA Special Committee 228 (SC-228), and it is included in its corresponding Minimum Operational Performance Standards (MOPS) document, DO-365. This paper reports on the integration into DAIDALUS of two new capabilities, namely dynamic well clear volumes and sensor uncertainty mitigation.
