An evaluation of cots-based radar for very small drone sense and avoid application

The use of very small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly common these days but its applications are limited to the pilot line-of-sight view. To extend its use beyond the pilot view, UAVs need to be equipped sense and avoid (SAA) system to avoid potential collisions. However, the develo...
