Automated Safer Skies
I got an idea about helicopter collision avoidance, which was extended -in my mind- to include all the aviating "objects", from balloons to (civil) jet airplanes. The core of the idea is : Within a specified local range, [e.g. 3-20 km, or more], all aviating objects (helicopters, jets, balloons, etc.) would exchange data about their momentary GPS position, ALTITUDE, SPEED & DIRECTION, (& maybe -even- the intended destination).. etc. That inter-communication for exchanging the real-time data, would be carried out by Automated onboard Systems (not humanly). An onboard system, would carry out dual jobs: First : Emitting "own" real-time aviating technical information, all-around, within the specified range. Second: Receiving technical data, from the nearby airplains & elaborating them, to create a comprehensive dynamic "3-D sky-model" moment by moment. That would help alert pilots to avoid collision or dangerous "nearby" posi...
