An exemplary method is implemented by an on-board microcontroller provides collision avoidance information for unmanned vehicle systems (UAS). A first UAS sensor provides first measurements of the other in-flight aircraft facilitating a determination that the other in-flight aircraft is within a field of collision avoidance. Instructions are sent to a second UAS sensor of a type different from the type of the first sensor, where the instructions direct the second UAS sensor to attempt to detect and track the other in-flight aircraft based on location information received from the first sensor. The instructions cause the initiation of a limited field of regard scan by the second sensor. Second measurements of the other in-flight aircraft are received from the second UAS sensor. A determination that the other in-flight aircraft is within a field of collision avoidance concern is based on the both the first and second measurements. A potential collision alert and targeting information of the other in-flight aircraft is sent to an aircraft control system for a determination of whether collision avoidance maneuvering should be executed.
