Sense and Avoid Radar Sensor Successfully Completes First Flight Demonstration

Sierra Nevada Corporation’s Multi Sensor Detect Sense and Avoid (MSDSA) program successfully completed its first airborne demonstration using a prototype, x-band radar sensor.

This new Sense And Avoid (SAA) sensor repeatedly detected and tracked airborne intruders resulting in over 60 seconds of avoidance time.

“The MSDSA sensor incorporates our unique Electronically Reconfigurable Array (ERA). The entire sensor has been designed and developed as an SAA building block that is easily scalable to meet the challenges of multiple UAV CONOPS and installation challenges” said Greg Cox, Corporate Vice President of SNC’s CNS/ATM Business Area.
