Tracks: Operations
Instructor: Heather K Harris-Aguirre

This session will explore the remaining challenges and potential solutions toward fielding practical, affordable sense and avoid (SAA) and detect and avoid DAA) capabilities. It will also cover how DAA will help crewed helicopter pilot operators, the history of DAA over the past two decades, and how DAA is shaping integration with advanced air mobility (AAM) for helicopter and other low-altitude operators.
