摘要：

A free flight obstacle avoidance system (OAS) is a commanded obstacle resolution feedback system. The system employs insertion of hybridized elements to the existing designs of Adaptive Ground Collision Avoidance Systems and Midair Collision Avoidance Systems along with a newly design module, the obstacle avoidance dispatcher and resolver, to provide a coherent obstacle resolution. The system is capable of filtering data produced by the hybrid ground collision avoidance module and the hybrid air collision avoidance module, inserting evaluating solution status and command directives before routing avoidance data to hybrid modules for validation. The dispatcher and resolver module determines the final obstacle resolution to generate avoidance control guidance and appropriate warnings clearly indicated obstacle situation and obstacle avoidance maneuvers to the flight crew. In addition to the avoidance capabilities, the system also provides extended functions of terrain following guidance and space separation warnings.
