Scope and Objectives
The main objective of this document is to provide technical guidance to airport operators and/or other users to protect the airport operations from unauthorized UAS incursions by providing a baseline for specifying and evaluating the C-UAS detection function capabilities, including related performance parameters and interoperability requirements.
This document will concentrate on the detection component (DTI - Detection, Tracking and Identification) and its capability to offer real time situational awareness along with other complementary operational capabilities and functions of the C-UAS detection system.
Moreover, owing to the present scope of the OSED and the absence of definitive factors to characterize the C-UAS system in its entirety as a system of systems, this document focuses on the DTI elements of a non-cooperative unmanned aircraft detection system.
This document does not encompass:
• The specifications of the C-UAS system technologies.
• The C-UAS operational process integrating into other systems, actions and procedures.
• The neutralization component nor the mitigation countermeasures.
• The necessary protocols and identification of roles and responsibilities.
