Research abstract
One of the most significant topics pertaining to loss of life, loss of high-value assets for manned and unmanned aviation is the subject of flight hazards and collision avoidance. These topics manifest itself in several notable manners, which include but are not limited to:1) Navigation at nighttime, in a foggy or smoky Degraded Visual Environment (DVE) when flying in a multiple aircraft formation. This is when situational awareness becomes critical for the aircrew.2) Operations in a conflict region, where civil engineering data regarding towers, power lines and the basic geographical landscape has been altered as a function of the conflict and accurate records may not exist.3) Establishing safe landing zone areas when operating in dusty, sandy and snowy areas that may be additionally compromised by nighttime, DVE, and aircrew fatigue.4) Flight obstacles (such as small aircraft, UAVs, etc.) when operating and uncontrolled or regional airspace that lack sophisticated ground control radar or other anti-collision systems
