Follow the repeatable path from scenario generation and simulation through policy training, testing, and review.
01 / The problem
What had to change
Autonomy and detect-and-avoid experiments need a repeatable environment before they move toward physical flight tests.
02 / The constraints
What the system had to respect
- The model must represent fixed-wing flight behavior.
- Test runs must be repeatable enough to compare changes.
- The code must stay public and easy to inspect.
03 / The build
What I made
- A Python simulator with fixed-wing flight physics.
- A test environment for detect-and-avoid and autonomy work.
- A public codebase for continued experiments.
04 / The result
The useful change
The repository provides a controlled place to test fixed-wing autonomy ideas before field work.
