Abstract

A major problem in Air Traffic Control (ATC) is detecting when two aircraft are on a potential collision course soon enough to take some corrective action. Many algorithms are being developed which may lead to automating the process of conflict detection. However, these algorithms typically require large amounts of computing resource if they are to be performed in real-time. This paper describes some techniques which may be used by an associative processor to perform the conflict detection operation.
