  • Publication number: 20070069944
    Abstract: An airborne radar display is simulated using electronic messages obtained from a traffic alert and collision avoidance system (TCAS). The system does not utilize radar. Rather, the data that is received by a TCAS receiver, such as the range and bearing of other aircraft in the vicinity, are transformed into a display resembling that of a conventional airborne radar system.
