COLLISION AVOIDANCE OPERATIONAL CONCEPT

This document is an operational concept for collision avoidance services which will be in place upon implementation of the Federal Aviation Administration National Airspace System (NAS) Plan. This operational concept only discusses the ground-base portion of how the Air Traffic Control System provides flight safety by maintaining adequate aircraft separation. This concept discusses the aircraft separation assurance per the National Airspace Requirement Specification (NASSRS). The objective of this document is to describe the relationship among subsystems, facilities, information, and operators/users involved in the collision avoidance service. In addition, the elements and operations of the NAS Plan are mapped into the collision avoidance requirements stated in the NASSRS, NAS-SR-1000. Several types of block diagrams are used to illustrate system connectivity and operational flow. Scenarios are also derived to describe the collision avoidance process from a user's perspective.
