5. Echodyne Radar Integrated into BVLOS UAS

Echodyne’s EchoFlight radar has been integrated into the American Aerospace Technologies, Inc. (AATI) AiRanger aircraft.

EchoFlight radar is integrated into a pod on each wing of the AiRanger aircraft, providing the necessary visibility to meet minimum operational performance standards (MOPS). The detection and tracking ranges provided by EchoFlight provide the DAA system with sufficient time and information to take avoidance measures and maintain operational safety.
