Sensor solutions provider HENSOLDT is vigorously pushing ahead with the development of a collision warning system for civil and military drones: after the radar sensor as the core element of a collision warning system was already successfully tested in flight as part of the ProSA-n (military) and KoKo2 (civil) study programmes, work on the software required for interaction with an autopilot is well advanced.
As early as this summer, a demonstrator of the collision warning system is to prove in-flight tests that the sensor performance and the software-supported avoidance logic correspond correctly with the autopilot.
