The Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) is a beacon-based airborne collision avoidance system that is able to operate in all airspace without reliance on ground equipment. The TCAS concept encompasses a range of capabilities that include TCAS I, a low-cost, limited-performance version, and TCAS II, which is intended to provide a comprehensive level of separation assurance in all current and predicted airspace environments through the end of this century. This document provides a functional overview of a TCAS I equipped with a low power active transponder detector. It includes a definition of TCAS I functions, calculated and measured surveillance performance for a low power interrogator and an implementation approach that incorporates the TCAS I functions in a Mode S transponder.
