Abstract

See full text

Includes means for monitoring the position and behavior of air traffic in the vicinity of the aircraft and generating a warning or avoidance signal for air traffic predicted to be on a collision course. The apparatus also includes means for monitoring the position and behavior of the aircraft relative to terrain in the vicinity of the aircraft flight path to generate a warning or avoidance signal for terrain features predicted to provide a collision threat. Means are provided for receiving the traffic warning signals and terrain warning signals comparing the signals and generating a combined warning or advisory signal which indicates an action for the aircraft which avoids both air traffic and terrain collisions.
