Current version of DAIDALUS v2 is available from https://github.com/nasa/daidalus
This repository includes a prototype implementation written in Java and C++ of DAIDALUS (Detect and Avoid Alerting Logic for Unmanned Systems). DAIDALUS is a reference implementation of a detect and avoid concept intended to support the integration of Unmanned Aircraft Systems into civil airspace. The repository also includes definitions in Matlab of a family of well-clear violation volumes and the formal specification of DAIDALUS core algorithms in the Prototype Verification System (PVS).
DAIDALUS is a reference implementation of the detect and avoid (DAA) functional requirements described in Appendix G of DO-365, the Minimum Operational Performance Standards (MOPS) for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) developed by RTCA Special Committee 228 (SC-228). The current software release implements
- detection logic,
- alerting logic based on hazard and non-hazard volumes, and
- multi-level instantaneous and kinematic maneuver guidance.
A draft of user guide is available at https://nasa.github.io/WellClear.
Example programs DaidalusExample.java and
DaidalusExample.cpp illustrate the main
functional capabilities of DAIDALUS in Java and C++, respectively.
