Extract

For many years there has been keen interest, especially in the avionics industry, in the possibility of devising some airborne device which would warn aircrew of an impending mid-air collision. At sea, the use of radar as a collision-warning device is now common, and the carriage of a computer-based collision warning device on tankers in US waters is expected to become mandatory in the near future.
