Abstract

The relative speeds of aircraft in possible conflict encounter are soaring up to or even above 0.5km/s, meaning that the period of time which includes conflict detection, reaction, and strategical resolution of conflict, etc., before initiation of conflict avoidance maneuvering is short. Therefore, and since current ground based systems for managing, controlling and handling aircraft movements is near its maximum capacity, the existing ground based control has to be enhanced by the autonomous anti-collision and anti-conflict airborne system. Avoidance procedures with descent in front of the intruder are demonstrated as a continuation of autonomous airborne separation research begun with conflict avoidance involving descent behind the intruder. The following continuation is necessary because descending behind the intruder is a safe avoidance only when initial vertical separation exceeds the defined vertical separation minimum.
