What is Sense And Avoid (SAA)?
Many people have asked me for some background on the SAA system for GA, drones and FPV models that I have been working on for the (almost) two years.
In this video I try to explain some of the basics of what an SAA system is, the various technologies that could be used to implement such a system and the pro's/con's of each.
As usual, some liberties have been taken in order to simplify things and I have not disclosed exactly how my own design has overcome the limitations that have prevented others from using technologies such as passive radar as an effective sense-element.
Readers should note that as of this moment in time, CAA New Zealand are actively standing in the way of my continued development of this system for what I believe are purely political reasons - a desire to protect MFNZ from some perceived challenge to their unhealthy monopoly over controlling the right to perform RC flight within 4Km of an airfield.
Disgraceful.
