UK CAA publishes Detect and Avoid Policy Concept version 2
The UK CAA published CAP3015 Version 2 on 22 September. The updated Detect and Avoid policy concept adds detail on regulatory expectations, assurance, testing and evidence for DAA-enabled BVLOS operations, and can be used in controlled operational-authorisation work during the policy-concept test phase.

DAA moves BVLOS from "can the sensor see traffic?" to a larger assurance question covering detection performance, decision logic, pilot/system response and evidence quality.
Teams preparing BVLOS cases should map each DAA claim to test evidence and failure handling rather than presenting the sensor specification as the safety argument.
