Remotely triggered collision avoidance strobe system

A remotely triggered collision avoidance system for providing warning to flight crew within ground -based aircraft traffic control operations, comprising:

• (a.) a hand unit comprising an aircraft marshalling hand wand for carrying by an operator proximate to the traffic control operations, said hand unit being additionally capable of generating and broadcasting a signal in response to an emergency situation upon activation by the operator, said hand unit further comprising an elongated casing, a power source, a signal transmitter circuit, an antenna, and, a means for activating said signal transmitter circuit;
• and,
• (b.) a station unit, said station unit comprising means for receiving said signal and means for warning the flight crew in response to said signal that an impending collision is possible and that all movement should cease.

A remotely triggered collision avoidance system for providing warning to a tug operator within ground-based aircraft traffic control operations, comprising:

• (a.) a hand unit comprising an aircraft marshalling hand wand for carrying by an operator proximate to the traffic control operations, said hand unit being additionally capable of generating and broadcasting a signal in response to an emergency situation upon activation by the operator, said hand unit further comprising an elongated casing, a power source, a signal transmitter circuit, an antenna, and, a means for activating said signal transmitter circuit;
• and,
• (b.) a tug unit, said tug unit comprising means for receiving said signal and means for warning the tug operator in response to said signal that an impending collision is possible and that all movement should cease.
