Collision and conflict avoidance system for autonomous unmanned aircraft (UAV)

It proposes a collision and conflict avoidance system for autonomous unmanned aircraft (UAV), in which the system available onboard uses sensors to get a picture of the surrounding airspace, the so-created position of impending conflicts (collisions, TCAS injuries airspace violations) is examined and on detection of a problem, a search for alternatives is started, the alternative routes, if possible, comply with the prescribed rules of the air. The introduction of the system in autonomous UAVs for conflict and collision avoidance allows you to use them in the civil and military airspace and transparent parallel to conventional aircraft. Through the onboard algorithm the system works independently of a data link. By considering the TCAS zones unnecessary harassment of the remaining air traffic takes place. The hybrid system allows to cover both safety-critical aspects and also to use more sophisticated algorithms to account for complicated boundary conditions in determining the fly away path.
