The system calculates collision potential with other objects that are stationary or in motion based on the exchange of the motion parameters. Evasive actions are calculated with congested space and altitude floor taken into account. The system determines collision potential between two or more objects or can utilize a single ground monitor to perform the collision potential calculations between all participating objects.Field of SearchAIRCRAFT COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM (CAS)With transponder Including synchronized clock Included in Secondary Surveilance Radar (SSR) or Air Traffic Control Radio Beacon System (ATCRBS) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL With defruiting or degarbling SHIP COLLISION AVOIDANCE Navigational With VOR/TACAN Digital With remote cooperating station Digital (e.g., with counter) With azimuth and elevation determination With transmission of location-indicative information to or from a remote station Combined with telecommunication | |
