SARA’s introduction of PANCAS for airborne acoustic situational awareness with NASA’s UAM team will help advance the development of an ultra safe and efficient system for air passenger and cargo transportation within urban environments. NASA’s flight tests with PANCAS in support of EVAA versus a wide variety of manned and unmanned aircraft, combined with SARA’s independently developed Metric Evaluation Stack AI analysis tool, will provide relevant DAA data towards understanding the full integration of UAS in the NAS for Urban Air Mobility.
SARA’s PANCAS detect and avoid solutions present the first realistic opportunity for small UAS to operate beyond visual line of sight in the NAS or operate safely and satisfy “due regard” in international waters. This low SWAP, low cost, long range 360 degree capability create an exciting opportunity to unlock airborne robotics in commercial industry and civil / federal government applications.
