Satellite linked simulation system is used to provide aircraft flight management to prevent mid air collisions

摘要

The location and movement of aircraft (1) in airspace is monitored and controlled to avoid collisions. The system has communication (5) and navigation (4) satellites linked to aircraft satellite dishes (2) and to ground based units (6) linked to a simulations system (8). This also receives data from radar. The system simulates air conditions to provided early warning of potential collision situations.
