A collision-avoidance method for cooperating carriers consists of: transmitting, from each carrier, monochromatic pulsed light waves, coming from at least two wide-field optical transmission devices to cover the space around the carrier and thus define a zone of proximity, the power of the optical transmission defining, under given weather conditions, the range of the transmission and hence the zone covered; and receiving, at each carrier, the monochromatic, pulsed light waves radiated into space by other cooperating carriers, on at least two wide-field reception devices covering the space around the carrier. Each intrusion of a carrier into the proximity zone of another carrier prompts the detection of light radiation and the triggering of an alarm on either carrier. Applications are to air anti-collision systems.
