Systems and methods for airspace management. One embodiment of an aerial vehicle, includes a first sensor for detecting a lateral field of view of the aerial vehicle and a vehicle computing device. The vehicle computing device may include a memory component and a processor. The memory component may store logic that, when executed by the processor, causes the aerial vehicle to calculate a detection boundary for the aerial vehicle to maintain a well clear requirement, wherein the detection boundary is based on instantaneous trajectory, planned future trajectory, and a capability of the aerial vehicle and utilize the capability of the aerial vehicle and data from the first sensor to maintain the vehicle within detection boundary. In some embodiments the logic may cause the vehicle to provide an instruction to maintain the aerial vehicle within the detection boundary.
