Safety of General Aviation (GA) has always been a concern since lack of harmonized technical standards addressing performance for devices allowing GA aircraft to see and be seen, is major impediment to their widespread use in Europe. The increasing complexity and density of air traffic, when the skies become more crowded with a mix of different airspace users, including unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) trending in the last few years, emphasize the importance of and the need of change. The aim of this doctoral thesis is to elaborate on the possibilities to improve the operational safety of GA operations in uncontrolled airspace anticipating considerable challenges associated with UAS uptake. With the overall ATM framework being adapted to accommodate these novel airspace users, ADS-B technology is being recognized for its significant potential. This thesis explored the possibilities to improve cooperative surveillance in uncontrolled airspace (starting with but not limiting to ADS-B), and through set of experiments evaluated the acceptability, feasibility and reusability of different existing collision avoidance and situation awareness systems, both tailored and not tailored for GA. Part of the research was also the investigation on possible adaptation of the drone dedicated Remain Well Clear concept for GA operational needs. The research activities within the scope of this thesis were undertaken in two phases. Within the first phase, spanning from 2015 to 2019, a series of experiments were conducted. The second phase focused on the exhaustive analysis of systems introduced since the last experiment, culminating in the recent months, highlighting the solutions that with appropriate adjustments hold the potential to be effectively tailored for adoption by GA.
