ClairVoyan DAA System: Intelligent Vision-Based Detect-and-Avoid Framework for UAVs
ClairVoyan is a vision-based Detect-and-Avoid (DAA) framework for small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), developed in partnership with Guide Air Labs. Unlike conventional DAA systems relying on radar or ADS-B transponders, which are too heavy for small platforms, ClairVoyan employs a passive, camera-only pipeline integrating deep learning detection to identify non-cooperative airborne intruders at long range. The system targets compliance with RTCA DO-387 operational performance standards.
