You will be asked to provide your views on each of the proposed positions with regard to how it delivers on the ConOps's two aims:

enhancing manned aircraft situational awareness; and
enabling detect-and-avoid for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

You do not need to respond to every position in the ConOps, so please focus on the areas most relevant to your expertise or operations.
