Abstract
A system for aircraft collision avoidance includes a first aircraft, the first aircraft configured to detecting at least a projected flight path of at least a second aircraft, determine, as a function of the at least a projected flight path, that the first aircraft is on a collision course with the at least a second aircraft, select a collision avoidance maneuver, the collision avoidance maneuver including at least a flight path for the first aircraft and at least a flight path for the at least a second aircraft, and transmit the collision avoidance maneuver to the at least a second aircraft.
Claims19
A method of aircraft collision avoidance, the method comprising:
- detecting, by a first aircraft, at least a projected flight path of at least a second aircraft;
- determining, by the first aircraft and as a function of the at least a projected flight path, that the first aircraft is on a collision course with the at least a second aircraft;
- selecting a collision avoidance maneuver, the collision avoidance maneuver including at least a flight path for the first aircraft and at least a flight path for the at least a second aircraft;
- and
- transmitting the collision avoidance maneuver to the at least a second aircraft.

A system for aircraft collision avoidance, the system comprising:
- a flight controller, the flight controller configured to detect a projected flight path of a first aircraft and at least a projected flight path of at least a second aircraft, determine, as a function of the at least a projected flight path, that the first aircraft is on a collision course with the at least a second aircraft, select a collision avoidance maneuver, the collision avoidance maneuver including at least a flight path for the first aircraft and at least a flight path for the at least a second aircraft, and transmit the collision avoidance maneuver to the at least a second aircraft.
