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 TigerShark unmanned aircraft by Navmar Applied Sciences Corporation flew over the skies at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center for the Unmanned Aircraft Systems integration in the National Airspace Systems, Flight Test Series Six (FT6) project. FT6 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.
