[QUOTE="I B Spectre, post: 97760, member: 18605"] No doubt many were disappointed the Aug. 13 new product announced by DJI didn't include a drone. It may have to do with DJI's plan to incorporate AirSense in all models beginning in 2020 to address the FAA's concerns over potential drone conflicts with manned aviation and the consequences thereof, leading to more egregious regulation. Per DJI: "DJI drones with AirSense only use ADS-B In, which means they are able to see nearby traditional aircraft without congesting the airwaves by adding additional transmissions". So, the DJI operator will be alerted to the presence of ADS-B Out equipped aircraft, but those aircraft apparently will not be alerted to the presence of the UAS. The how and what information will be presented to the UAS operator is unclear, but should be limited to pertinent data. I don't need to know I've got a 767 overhead at 35,000 ft. whereas knowing a Life Flight helo at or below 500ft AGL in the area is vital. It's anybody's guess as to how much this feature will add to the cost of a quadcopter or the long term implications for those with "legacy" UAVs. A lot of people were hoping for a new UAV under 250 grams with at least Spark-like capabilities and pricing. Maybe someday. [/QUOTE]
