Abstract
A hybrid ground collision avoidance system (HGCAS) is a ground collision avoidance system with extended existing ground avoidance capabilities and incorporated with new hybrid capabilities to perform hybrid ground collision prediction and hybrid ground collision avoidance. This system works in collaboration with two other systems, hybrid air collision avoidance system and obstacle avoidance dispatcher and resolver module to form a bi-directional feedback network for processing and exchanging of verification and validation collision avoiding data. With the embedded hybrid prediction and avoidance processing capabilities, the system not only can refine ground collision avoidance solution to eliminate any induced air collision situation, but also provide verification for air collision avoidance resolution in the ground domain; and subsequent validate the final avoidance solution.
