Abstract

Systems and methods for detecting potential collisions by an aircraft are disclosed. A set of points may be detected by one or more sensors of the aircraft. The set of points may be transformed based on the speed of the aircraft relative to a speed threshold. A potential collision may be detected based on whether a transformed point is within a protective envelope relative to the aircraft.
