Detect and Avoid, or DAA, is the name of a set of technologies designed to avoid interference between a given emitter and the wireless environment. Its need was generated by the Ultra-wideband standard -- or UWB --, that uses a fairly large spectrum to emit its pulses.

According to FCC UWB can use from 3.1โ€“10.6 GHz. That means it could interfere with WiMAX, 3G or 4G networks.

DAA is enforced only in some European countries.
