CAP722, CAP1861 and CAP1915 indicate, that Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLoS) operations in UK are possible in unsegregated airspace subject to the 'Detect and Avoid' capability of the Unmanned Air System (UAS) being as good as the 'See and Avoid' capability of conventional aircraft under Visual Flight Rules (VFR). If no such technology is available, then segregated airspace (a Temporary Danger Area (TDA)) should be established. TDAs are required, because they reduce risks to conventional traffic imposed by Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) to as low as practically possible. TDAs by their nature, segregate the airspace and prohibit other airspace users from accessing the airspace unless specific permission is granted.Currently there are multiple TDAs promulgated in the UK Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP). The reasons for them vary but examples of use are to facilitate RPAS to carry out operational flights for the purposes of Maritime Surveillance in the area of the English Channel. An other is to facilitate RPAS to carry out delivery flights to remote areas for the purposes of a government led COVID-19 response plan to assist the National Health Service. The TDAs are required because the aircraft will be operating BVLoS and are currently unable to demonstrate adequate Detect and Avoid capability. However, TDAs are not a long-term solution.It is understood that there are currently multiple live applications with the CAA for the establishment of TDAs to enable BVLoS RPAS operations. There is a risk that accepting these requests will create a patchwork of temporary airspace segregations that will quickly become unsustainable because of the impact on safety and efficiency, specifically:\* SAFETY -- more temporary segregated airspace increases the risk of infringements by other aircraft into the protected zone, which may result in mid-air collisions.\* EFFICIENCY -- more temporary segregated airspace limits access to aircraft into the protected zone, constraining the operations of other aviation activities.This project aims to develop and deploy a solution for BVLoS UAS operations in **non-segregated** airspace.The solution will provide RPAS operators (and other equipped aircraft) with real-time, shared situational awareness of the airspace, enabling the RPAS operator to strategically and/or tactically detect and avoid other aircraft during BVLoS operations.The work package will demonstrate that BVLoS operations in non-segregated airspace are safe, can meet with regulatory approval and integrate seamlessly with manned aviation whilst still providing safe and efficient access to the airspace by all airspace users.

CAP 722、CAP 1861和CAP 1915表明，英国的超视距飞行（BVLoS）在非隔离空域是可能的，但无人机系统（UAS）的“探测和规避”能力与目视飞行规则（VFR）下常规飞机的“看见和规避”能力一样好。如果没有这种技术，则应建立隔离的空域（临时危险区）。之所以需要TDAs，是因为它们将遥控飞机系统（RPAS）对常规交通造成的风险降低到尽可能低的程度。由于其性质，TDAs隔离空域，并禁止其他空域用户进入空域，除非获得特别许可。目前，英国航空信息出版物（AIP）公布了多个TDAs。其原因各不相同，但使用的例子是，方便RPAS在英吉利海峡地区进行海上监视的业务飞行。另一个是促进RPAS执行飞往偏远地区的送货航班，以执行政府主导的COVID-19应对计划，以协助国家卫生服务体系。由于飞机将运行BVLoS，并且目前无法证明具有足够的探测和规避能力，因此需要TDA。然而，TDAs并非长久之计，据了解，目前有多个与CAA的实时申请，要求建立TDAs，以实现BVLoS RPAS运营。接受这些请求可能会产生临时空域隔离的拼凑，由于对安全和效率的影响，这种临时空域隔离很快就会变得不可持续，具体来说：安全-更多的临时隔离空域增加了其他飞机侵犯保护区的风险，这可能导致空中碰撞。效率--更多的临时隔离空域限制了飞机进入保护区，限制了其他航空活动的运营。该项目旨在为BVLoS UAS在 ** 非隔离 ** 空域的运营开发和部署解决方案。该解决方案将为RPAS运营商提供（和其他装备的飞机）具有实时、共享的空域态势感知，使RPAS操作员能够在BVLoS操作期间从战略和/或战术上探测和避开其他飞机。该工作包将证明在非隔离空域中的BVLoS操作是安全的，可以满足监管部门的批准，并与载人航空无缝集成，同时仍然为所有空域用户提供安全有效的空域访问。
