Virginia Tech researchers and scientists from Brigham Young University have equipped an unmanned aircraft with a newly designed radar system and optical video cameras to collect data that will help aerospace engineers develop avoidance technology. This technology will enable unmanned aircraft to accurately sense and avoid obstacles like trees, power lines, and other aircraft.
