Integration Techniques for Preventing Collisions between Air Vehicles

Abstract

The use of data links to control Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) from ground controllers over the past several years has become an important concept for military operations. Currently, multiple UAV flights are not performed due to the possibility of air-to-air collisions. Control algorithm designs can be achieved to provide for multiple UAV operations, but unforeseen circumstances such as ground controllers flying the wrong course could cause air vehicles to arrive in the same airspace at the same time, which could cause a collision.
