Preliminary effects of UAS angle of approach on escape responses of a large-bodied raptor

Drone Systems and Applications
Animal responses to unoccupied aircraft systems (UAS) can be exploited to reduce human-wildlife conflicts. We investigated how same-level UAS approaches (0°) would be perceived by Turkey Vultures (Cathartes aura; “vultures”) compared to stoop approaches (
