Several NASA Dryden Remotely Operated Integrated Drone (DROID) project team members secure the aircraft’s single-piece wing during flight tests of the project’s miniature ground collision avoidance system for small unmanned air vehicles. The DROID research aircraft was flown with a smartphone containing the collision avoidance software connected to its autopilot to enable automatic fly-ups or turns when the aircraft neared terrain.May 31, 2012
