A system and techniques for automatically generating messages to advise air traffic control (ATC) when an aircraft should maneuver based on information from the aircraft guidance system. The techniques of this disclosure integrate guidance processing algorithms, such as those found in detect and avoid (DAA) systems, with data link communications, such as those in controller pilot data link communications (CPDLC), to communicate deviations from an approved flight plan to ATC. As one example, if an aircraft collision avoidance system determines that an aircraft should deviate from the aircraft's current flight path to avoid a hazard, the techniques of this disclosure include automatically generating a message, then sending the message to ATC. In some examples, the pilot may approve the message before allowing the system to send the message to ATC. The pilot may be on board a manned aircraft or a remote pilot of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS).
