And what of the precedent, flying UAVs incapable of complying with
see-and-avoid regulations, sets for future UAV operations in domestic
airspace below 18,000'? How would you feel if the DHS decided it
needed to employ UAVs for domestic spying throughout the country, and
it resulted in a proliferation of TRFs?

Since they're probably spending ten bazillion dollars on each one, why not
make it eleven bazillion and put in a radar coupled to the autopilot (or
whatever fancy name they use for it) and give the UAVs see-and-avoid
capability?


Probably because it will take more than RADAR to accomplish the
see-and-avoid task reliably and safely.
