Scaled Composites’ Doug Shane examined the screen of his ground control station during tests in New Mexico. Shane used this configuration as the ground control station to remotely pilot the Proteus aircraft during a NASA-sponsored series of tests. Proteus served as a surrogate UAV in a successful “Detect, See, and Avoid” flight test campaign involving “cooperative” transponder-equipped aircraft under NASA’s Environmental Research Aircraft and Sensor Technology (ERAST) project.March 13, 2002NASA Photo / Tom Tschida› Proteus Project Description
