GA-ASI was recognized for the development of its Due Regard Radar (DRR), an air-to-air radar produced under company funding to enable RPA systems to fly safely in domestic and international airspace. The award is presented to companies that have advanced the state-of-the-art of aerospace engineering or have utilized significant technical and/or managerial innovations in a project that has resulted in exceptional accomplishments. DRR has become a critical component of GA-ASI’s airborne Detect and Avoid (DAA) architecture for its Predator® B RPA. The company is partnered with the FAA, NASA, and several industry partners to mature a DAA capability onboard NASA’s Ikhana RPA. DRR will be used to track cooperative as well as non-cooperative aircraft. Read more
