Exelis has released an airspace sense-and-avoid tool specifically designed for UAVs.
Called Symphony RangeVue, the system marshals real-time Federal Aviation Administration surveillance data, flexible background maps and weather information to aid UAS operators, according to the company.
Symphony RangeVue combines a high-performance visualization engine with Exelis’s NextGen surveillance data, FAA surveillance information, terminal radar and other systems.
“For the first time, UAS operators and test range personnel will have the same situational awareness currently available to general aviation pilots through traffic information broadcast services,” said Ed Sayadian, vice president of civil and aerospace solutions for Exelis “This capability is available without having to install avionics surveillance equipment on the UAS aircraft.”
