Abstract :
The next generation of the airborne collision avoidance system, TCAS IV, will improve upon the present TCAS II in several respects. In making use of accurate satellite-based position data and air-to-air data link of intent, TCAS IV will support superior collision threat detection and resolution. Operational applications making use of cockpit-displayed traffic information should facilitate more efficient and flexible flight
