A system for aiding a pilot in avoiding a midair collision between aircraft is described. The system consists of a protected aircraft equipped with a transmitter, transponder, receiver, and data processor. The intruding aircraft is similarly equipped. The signal from the most hazardous intruding aircraft is received by the protected aircraft and applied to the data processor. The data processor determines the closing velocity of the aircraft, the range between aircraft, altitude difference, and time to possible collision. The timeliness of the warning information makes it possible to avoid midair collisions.
