Seems this didn't get any love, so I'll clarify. There is a tradeoff in exposure area and distance, for a given data rate out of the sensor. Because there are already many projects related to obstacle avoidance in the near field, I am curious if Iris chooses to address traditional air traffic targets (as depicted on the website image). If this is the case, what types of aircraft and at what distances. Put yet another way, does Iris intend to compliment traditional TCAS-like systems (albeit for non-cooperative targets)?
- aharm 10y agoOne of the major advantages of the Iris system is being able to deal with other aircraft in the national airspace (especially non-cooperative targets like you mention). It means that any system that will actually be useful will have to be able to see and track objects correctly further than 500m away, like Iris can.
