This article presents a comprehensive algorithm for potential en-route conflict resolutions that could be conducted with both constant as well as variable altitudes. The resulting trajectories are expected to be near-optimal in the sense that they consider geometrically minimum deviation from the original aircraft flight path. The proposed approach is devised to be compatible with the so-called “Free Flight” concept as well as Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast users toward “air traffic control process automation.” In line with previous works, the current algorithm results in smooth maneuvers consisting of three consecutive turns that not only resolve the conflict, but also return the maneuvering aircraft to their original paths. This feature helps prevent further conflicts down the mission. Simulation results for the randomly generated flying aircraft clearly indicate the schemes are both effective and efficient in a dense airspace. The 3-D maneuvers produced by this article are expected to prepare the ground for the enhancement of the existing tactical collision avoidance systems.
