Abstract

The operation of a positive finding collision avoidance system at an Own station that determines Own's and Others' positions from SSR interrogations and replies thereto is initialized by briefly transmitting interrogations from Own station and receiving non-garbled replies thereto from Other stations to determine their direct ranges from Own. The range data is used in a trigonometric computation to obtain Own's and such Others' initial positions. Interference with the normal operation of the standard ATCRBS is limited to a minimum by transmitting from Own very briefly and only when necessary. The distance between pairs of SSRs is also computed.
