More recently, the iFly project [27] defined a new concept of operations of self-separation in higher density airspace, based on the works described above, and evaluated it quantitatively using advanced stochastic simulation methods. [28]
The U.S. Air Force's F-16D Ground Collision Avoidance Technology (GCAT) aircraft. An airborne collision avoidance system (ACAS, usually pronounced as ay-kas) operates independently of ground-based equipment and air traffic control in warning pilots of the presence of other aircraft that may present a threat of collision.
A simple collision avoidance system. In transportation, collision avoidance is the maintenance of systems and practices designed to prevent vehicles (such as aircraft, motor vehicles, ships, cranes and trains) from colliding with each other.
A traffic alert and collision avoidance system (TCAS), pronounced / ˈ t iː k æ s / TEE-kas), also known as an Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS), [1] is an aircraft collision avoidance system designed to reduce the incidence of mid-air collision (MAC) between aircraft.
Audio sourced by BBC News appears to confirm the helicopter was in contact with air traffic control on the ground at the airport. The helicopter was asked if it had the passenger plane "in sight ...
A ground proximity warning system (GPWS) is a system designed to alert pilots if their aircraft is in immediate danger of flying into the ground or an obstacle. The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) defines GPWS as a type of terrain awareness and warning system (TAWS). [ 1 ]
The Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (Auto-GCAS) enhances safety by mitigating controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) accidents. [1] The Auto-GCAS team was awarded the 2018 Collier Trophy for the design-integration and flight testing in the F-35 , marking the year's greatest achievement in aeronautics. [ 2 ]
The description or definition of a new category, however, can only convey the category and ground its name if the words in the definition are themselves already grounded category names [17] According to Harnad, ultimately grounding has to be sensorimotor, to avoid infinite regress. [18] Harnad thus points at consciousness as a second property.
