Models for predicting aircraft motion are an important component of modern aeronautical
systems. These models help aircraft plan collision avoidance maneuvers and help conduct …

RIGOROUS analysis of a collision avoidance system is required before deployment in the
airspace due to the potentially catastrophic consequences of error in their operation. Civil …

This paper presents an extension to the ACAS X collision avoidance algorithm to multirotor
aircraft capable of using speed changes to avoid close encounters with neighboring aircraft …

We show how to combine Bayes nets and game theory to predict the behavior of hybrid
systems involving both humans and automated components. We call this novel framework …

A Mid-Air Collision (MAC) is a fatal event with tragic consequences. To reduce the risk of a
MAC, it is imperative to understand the precursors that trigger it. A primary precursor to a …

A safe integration of drone operations at very low levels, especially for beyond visual line-of-
sight operations, must come with proper modeling of the mid-air collision risk at lower …

In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for traffic situation awareness and alerting using
ADS-B. The objective of the system is to alert pilots of incoming potential collisions or …

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) will require a Sense and Avoid (SAA) capability to
integrate in the National Airspace System. To evaluate potential concepts of operation, the …

A formidable barrier for small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) to be integrated into civil
airspace is that small UAS currently lack the ability to Detect and Avoid (DAA) other aircraft …
