There is a desire to operate UAVs in Class E and G for both military
and civilian uses. The US military recognises the undesirability of
doing this unless the UAV can "see and avoid" so there is an effort
under way in the US for a UAV radar to "see" even uncooperative
targets (ones without transponders of some kind) and software for the
UAV flight control system to "avoid".
