Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System - TACS II

The document discusses Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System - TACS II which aims to prevent mid-air collisions. It has antennas that interrogate other aircraft and a RA Display in the cockpit. TACS II uses various surveillance methods like squitter broadcasts and Mode A/C transponders to identify nearby aircraft and determine if they pose a collision threat by analyzing sensitivity levels and range in a two step process to determine if a Resolution Advisory is needed.
