DAA Parameter Definition and Evaluation

In plain language

If you use a Detect and Avoid (DAA) system, you must define and evaluate its limits, such as how much time the drone needs to dodge an obstacle and the minimum safe distance it must maintain.

Requirement as structured

CAAS expects operators to define key DAA parameters, including the separation provision threshold, collision avoidance threshold, collision volume, and maneuver time, to establish compliance for the intended operational risk category.

Original regulatory text

Taking into consideration the nature/behaviour of the obstacle(s) and the technical capability of the operating UA, the following parameters should be defined with reference made to Figure 4: a. Separation provision threshold b. Collision avoidance threshold c. Collision volume d. Maneuver Time
