An adaptive sense and avoid system for use with an aerial vehicle in an environment, the adaptive sense and avoid system comprising a processor, a plurality of sensors, an obstacle detection circuit, and an avoidance trajectory circuit. The processor may be operatively coupled with a flight controller and a memory device, wherein the memory device comprises one or more databases. The plurality of sensors generates sensor data reflecting a position of an obstacle in the environment. The obstacle detection circuit, which is operatively coupled to the processor and the plurality of sensors, may be configured to identify obstacles based at least in part on the sensor data and to generate obstacle information that reflects a best estimate of a position of the obstacle in the environment. The obstacle detection circuit is configured to weigh the sensor data as a function of the aerial vehicle's state and its environment. The avoidance trajectory circuit, which is operatively coupled to the obstacle detection circuit and the processor, may be configured to calculate trajectory data as a function of the obstacle information and information from the one or more databases. The obstacle detection circuit is configured to communicate the trajectory data to the flight controller.
