This paper presents an algorithm for an Automatic Air Collision Avoidance System under development by the U.S. Air Force and its Swedish counterpart Forsvaret Materielverk (FMV). The algorithm uses optimal coordinated escape maneuvers to avoid mid-air collision, while satisfying the imposed system requirements. In addition, the algorithm can simultaneously accommodate multiple aircraft in a collision course by activating the coordinated escape maneuvers. On the other hand, the algorithm has logic to allow close formation flight and rejoin without activating the escape maneuver. The algorithm is designed to operate safely against failure and GPS/data link dropout.
