Summary: A group of 12 aviation industry organizations is requesting that the FAA include a requirement for comprehensive detect-and-avoid (DAA) technology for all BVLOS drone operators in all airspace. They argue that current proposals do not sufficiently address air-based risks to manned aircraft, particularly at low altitudes and near critical infrastructure.
A group of 12 aviation industry organizations are submitting this letter to Docket No. FAA-2025-1908 for consideration, reiterating concerns about the detect and avoid (DAA) elements in the upcoming Part 108 final rule.
