Definitions
- This invention seeks to significantly reduce the risk of collision by broadcasting signals across the drone control frequencies for a short distance in front of an aircraft that will tell the drone to climb or descend depending on its proximity to the aircraft.

Abstract
The invention is a device that when fitted to an aircraft (1) projects a signal before the aircraft on a frequency or a range of frequencies used for recreational unmanned flying vehicles or drones (3). The projection angle and strength of the signal from the aircraft would vary depending on each aircraft type and size and would temporarily override any control of any drone that flew into the signal area (2). Depending on the proximity of the drone to the aircraft, the signal would tell the drone to ascend or descend (3) allowing the aircraft to pass safely thereby avoiding the risk of collision.
Description
DCAS ■ DRONE C OLLIS ION AND AVOIDANC E SYSTE M. BAC KG ROUND
[0001 ] A significant challenge to commercial aviation is the threat posed by small privately operated and unregulated drone traffic in and around controlled airspace.
[0002] Most of these recreational drones fly at relatively low altitudes, so the primary risk is on take-off and landing.
[0003] This invention seeks to significantly reduce the risk of collision by broadcasting signals across the drone control frequencies for a short distance in front of an aircraft that will tell the drone to climb or descend depending on its proximity to the aircraft.
Claims
1. The device is a transmitter that will be activated either automatically,
independently or concurrently with a paired aircraft system such as the landing lights.
2. The device will comprise two transmitters located on the aircraft. Both
transmitters will transmit a short-range signal across the entire frequency used by recreational and commercial drones.
3. These drones are generally too small to detect, so the signal will be broadcast continually when the device is active.
4. If the drone is above the aircraft's flight path the signal will tell the drone to climb at full power whilst the drone is in the signal area. If the drone is below the aircraft's flight path it will tell the drone to descend as rapidly as possible.
5. The signal from the aircraft will be stronger and over-ride any control signal from the user on the ground.
6. Once the aircraft has passed and the drone is clear of the aircraft signal, control will be returned to the user of the drone.
