This report documents the Lincoln Laboratory evaluation of the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System II (TCAS II) logic version 7. TCAS II is an airborne collision avoidance system required since 30 December 1993 by the FAA on all air carrier aircraft with more than 30 passenger seats operating in the U.S. airspace. Version 7 is a major revision to the TCAS II logic consisting of more than 300 separately defined changes affecting all major TCAS areas (surveillance, CAS logic and displays/aurals). Lincoln Laboratory evaluated the logic by examining approximately two million simulated pairwise TCAS-TCAS encounters, derived from actual tracks recorded in U.S. airspace. The main goals of the evaluation were: (1) to study the performance of the new TCAS-TCAS coordinated reveral logic; (2) to detect and explain any areas of poor performance; (3) to examine the performance of the version 7 logic for the 30 Representative NMACs identified during the 6.04a logic evaluation; and (4) to understand the limitations of the logic by analyzing every version 7 NMAC.
