Abstract:
Systems and methods for avoiding runway collisions. In a disclosed embodiment of the invention, a collision avoidance system includes a position-sensing device that is operable to determine a position of the aircraft, and a communications system operable to support two-way communications between the aircraft and other similarly configured aircraft. A collision avoidance processor is coupled to the position-sensing device and the communications system that is configured to generate a message if the aircraft moves into a restricted zone positioned proximate to the airport.
