Scaled Composites’ Proteus aircraft and an F/A-18 Hornet from NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center at Mojave Airport in Southern California.
The unique tandem-wing Proteus was the testbed for a series of UAV collision-avoidance flight demonstrations. An Amphitech 35GHz radar unit installed below Proteus’ nose was the primary sensor for the Detect, See and Avoid tests. NASA Dryden’s F/A-18 Hornet was one of many different aircraft used in the tests.
