Time frequency system: Collision avoidance

Abstract

THE airborne Eros II Collision Avoidance System (CAS) designed and produced by McDonnell Douglas Corporation is actuated when the computer calculates the aircraft is within 25 sec of or ½ mile of another aircraft whichever event occurs first. At the same time, the pilot of one of the aircraft gets a command to climb while the pilot of the other aircraft is instructed to descend, thus avoiding a potential mid‐air collision.
