Abstract
In the near future, the integration of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles into the common airspace will proceed. The changes taking place mean that the safety of light aircraft, ultralight aircraft and unmanned air vehicles (UAV) will become an increasing problem. The IDAAS project (Intruder Detection And collision Avoidance System) meets the new challenges as it aims to produce technically advanced detection and collision avoidance systems for light and unmanned aerial vehicles. The work discusses selected elements of research and practical tests of the intruder detection vision system, which is part the of IDAAS project. At the outset, the current formal requirements related to the necessity of installing anticollision systems on aircraft are presented. The concept of the IDAAS system and the structure of algorithms related to image processing are also discussed. The main part of the work presents the methodology developed for the needs of dedicated flight tests, its implementation and the results obtained. The initial tests of the IDAAS system carried out on an ultralight aircraft generally indicate the possibility of the effective detection of intruders in the airspace with the use of vision methods, although they also indicated the existence of conditions in which this detection may prove difficult or even impossible.
Highlights
Air traffic has increased significantly on a global scale in recent times
The official document [1] presents the roadmap for the integration process of both manned and unmanned air traffic in the European airspace
From the point of view of the subject matter presented in this article, the approach presented by the authors of [5], who are considering the use of vision systems for visual flight rules-based collision avoidance, is very interesting
Summary
Air traffic has increased significantly on a global scale in recent times. On the other hand, quite a significant number of less well-trained amateur pilots have appeared, contributing to an increased number of incidents in aviation. The integration of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles in the common airspace is expected. The official document [1] presents the roadmap for the integration process of both manned and unmanned air traffic in the European airspace. The works [3,4] concern an overall approach to a problem of collision avoidance by unmanned systems. From the point of view of the subject matter presented in this article, the approach presented by the authors of [5], who are considering the use of vision systems for visual flight rules-based collision avoidance, is very interesting
