Zusammenfassung: | Embodiments of the invention(s) cover a method and system in which the system monitors outputs of a set of subsystems associated with a flying vehicle, wherein the flying vehicle comprises a set of fixed-wing operation modes and a set of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) operation modes, and wherein the set of subsystems generate signals associated with an operational environment surrounding the flying vehicle; from said outputs of the set of subsystems, generating a risk assessment characterizing one or more potential hazards associated with the environment surrounding the flying vehicle; based upon the risk assessment, returning instructions for execution of a detect and avoid operation; and optionally, executing the detect and avoid operation. |
