Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described using radar systems to avoid vehicle collisions. An example radar system can include antennas mounted on an aircraft, where each antenna has a different orientation facing a different direction away from the aircraft. The radar system can include one or more processing devices and a computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processing devices, cause the radar system to coordinate digital beam steering and digital beam forming with the antennas to produce a radar coverage area that includes a portion of an airspace around the aircraft; detect, based a signal transmitted by the antennas using the digital beam steering and digital beam forming, an object within the radar coverage area; and generate collision avoidance information including an indication of the object detected within the radar coverage area and/or an instruction for avoiding a collision with the object.
