DAA in Drones: What Pilots MUST Know for BVLOS before it's too late - Podcast EP 66

In this episode of the Coastal Drone Podcast, we dive deep into Detect and Avoid (DAA) technology—a critical piece of the puzzle for integrating drones into shared airspace. We break down what DAA is, why it matters for drone pilots, regulators, and the future of BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) operations, and explore the latest developments in hardware, software, and regulations. Whether you’re a recreational flyer curious about the tech, or a commercial operator looking at the future of advanced drone missions, this conversation will give you the insights you need.
