Original abstract

In this study, we have compared the performance of GA-intended Traffic Situational Awareness with Alerts (TSAA) system and its alerting capabilities with ACAS Xa (primarily addressing CAT needs) model modified to use passive surveillance only; however without any modifications for GA. Selected TSAA-tailored MOPS test vectors were run through both TSAA and ACAS X models. The main aim of this document is to indicate points that should be taken into account for further ACAS Xp system definition and development, in particular how big the differences resulting from the fact that ACAS Xa logic is tuned for CAT operations and different a/c performance characteristics are.
