  9. New tool tested to monitor drones

    Researchers at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi have tested a ground-based sense-and-avoid radar system designed to identify small aerial drones in a specific airspace.

    Officials at the university’s Lone Star UAS Center of Excellence and Innovation said the equipment could be used in areas where many drones are coming and going, such as a package delivery hub. As one of six federally designated test sites for unmanned aircraft, the center is conducting research for the Federal Aviation Administration aimed at integrating unmanned aerial systems into U.S. airspace.

    The test on March 4 and 6 used a catapult-launched American Aerospace RS-16 with a wingspan of almost 13 feet and a maximum weight of 85 pounds. It assessed the radar’s ability to determine whether non-test aircraft or birds had entered the test area.

    The exercise involved working closely with a variety of stakeholders, including aircraft operating in and around the airport, the Navy, the Coast Guard, Customs and Border Protection and FAA air traffic control.
