Abstract
A hybrid air collision avoidance system (HACAS) is an air collision avoidance system with extended existing air avoidance capabilities and incorporated with new hybrid capabilities to perform hybrid air collision prediction and hybrid air collision avoidance. This system works in collaboration with two other systems, hybrid ground 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 air collision avoidance solution to eliminate any induced ground collision situation, but also provide verification for ground collision avoidance resolution in the air domain; and subsequent validate the final avoidance solution.
