Automatic Air Collision Avoidance System - Design & Development

Abstract

Air to air collisions are a major concern for manned aircraft especially fighters during combat training exercises. The potential of such collisions of unmanned vehicles is much higher due to the lack of a pilot to see and avoid other aircraft. A system is needed to prevent such collisions as fighters become more complex and as unmanned vehicles are used to accomplish more missions. In fact automatic collision avoidance must be developed if unmanned vehicles are to become an integral part of military air operations.
