Abstract
A monitoring system for an aircraft has sensors that are used to sense the presence of objects around the aircraft for collision avoidance, navigation, or other purposes. At least one of the sensors may be configured to sense objects around the aircraft and provide data indicative of the sensed objects. The monitoring system may use information from the sensor and information about the aircraft to determine an escape envelope including possible routes that the aircraft can follow to avoid colliding with the object. The monitoring system may select an escape path based on the escape envelope and control the aircraft to follow the escape path to avoid collision with one or more objects.
