The objectives of the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System 2 (TCAS 2) version 6.04 logic and the testing and evaluation of it are presented. The operational problems experienced with its predecessor, version 6.0, along with the modifications that address them are described. Performance of the two logic versions were compared using simulations of encounters derived from ground radar data from eleven U.S. locations. The two major goals in comparing the logic versions were the following: to obtain an assessment of the effectiveness of the changes of the collision avoidance capability, and to characterize the effect of changes on the air traffic control.
