The fully assembled TigerShark unmanned aircraft system, seen here near a hangar at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in California, is expected to soon be flying missions.

The Navmar Applied Sciences Corporation’s TigerShark sits on the lakebed at Edwards Air Force Base after completing a flight for the Unmanned Aircraft Systems integration in the National Airspace Systems, Flight Test Series Six (FT6) project. FT6 took place at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in California and focused on low size weight and power sensors for Detect and Avoid (DAA) operations in controlled airspace to inform the FAA through the RTCA Special Committee DAA Working Group on the phase 2 minimum operational performance standards for DAA and air-to-air radar.
