Under the USAF-sponsored Autonomous Flight Control Sensing Technologies (AFCST) program, Northrop Grumman investigated 'see and avoid' (S&A) sensing requirements and preferred system designs along with other military scenarios such as autonomous formation flight and visual landing for future advanced unmanned air vehicles (UAVs). In the first part of the two-paper series, an S&A sensor coverage assessment method and the associated field-of- view (FOV) and time-to-go (TTG) modeling tools developed are described. In this second part, the use of the coverage models and modeling results to assess the overall system reliability of a number of sensor system configurations and their cost/benefit trades are discussed.
