Close/Intra-Formation Positioning Collision Avoidance System And Method
US Patent:
6459411, Oct 1, 2002
Filed:
Dec 30, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/223533
Inventors:
James A. Frazier - Albuquerque NM
Kenneth R. Jongsma - Albuquerque NM
James T. Sturdy - Albuquerque NM
Kenneth R. Jongsma - Albuquerque NM
James T. Sturdy - Albuquerque NM
Assignee:
L-3 Communications Corporation - Phoenix AZ
International Classification:
G01S 302
US Classification:
342455, 342 30, 701301, 340961
Abstract:
A passive Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) and method is based on receiving and processing Mode-S transponder messages without the TCAS computer having to interrogate the transponders of the respective aircraft flying in formation (i. e. , a passive TCAS). A TCAS computer and Mode-S transponder are used to provide distributed intra-formation control among multiple cells of aircraft flying in formation or close-in. The Mode-S transponder provides ADS-B Global Positioning System (GPS) squitter data to the TCAS computer; the TCAS computer receives and processes the data without having to interrogate the transponders of the multiple cells of aircraft. The method and system allow a safe separation between 2 to 250 aircraft flying in formation at selectable ranges.

A collision avoidance computer and Mode-S transponder are used to provide distributed intra-formation control among multiple cells of aircraft flying in formation or close-in. The Mode-S transponder provides ADS-B Global Positioning System (GPS) squitter data to the computer. A mission computer is coupled to the collision avoidance computer. The mission computer may provide steering commands transmitted to other formation member aircraft. The method and system allow a safe separation between 2 to 250 aircraft flying in formation at selectable ranges.
Vertical Speed Indicator/Traffic Resolution Advisory Display For Tcas
US Patent:
6271768, Aug 7, 2001
Filed:

International Classification:
G08G 504
US Classification:
340961
Abstract:
A display presents to the viewer the outputs of a dual mode Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS)/Intra-Formation Position Collision Avoidance System (IFPCAS). IFPCAS requires the cooperation of a least two formation follower aircraft in conjunction with the formation lead aircraft. The display indicates the relative velocity of the other formation follower aircraft, with respect to the formation lead aircraft, in addition to other types of information.
