“…Maintaining well-clear requires that UAS pilots are able to separate their aircraft from other traffic to maintain a safe distance. Because UAS pilots are operating the aircraft from a ground control station remotely and are not colocated with their aircraft (as with manned aircraft), the terms “sense-and-avoid” (e.g., Lee et al, 2013) or “detect-and-avoid” (e.g., Rorie & Fern, 2015) are often used instead of see-and-avoid. Moreover, in contrast to how pilots of manned aircraft maintain well-clear (i.e., through direct line-of-sight), UAS pilots must rely on surveillance and alerting systems that provide information on how close the UAS is to other aircraft so that pilots can maintain well-clear remotely (e.g., Lee et al, 2013; Santiago & Mueller, 2015).…”
