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 aircrafts (helicopters, jets, drones, balloons, etc.) would exchange encrypted data about their real-time GPS position, ALTITUDE, SPEED & DIRECTION, (& maybe -even- their intended DESTINATIONS).. etc. 

That inter-communication for exchanging this real-time data, would be carried out by Automated onboard systems (not humanly). 

The onboard system (a small computer unit), 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 aircrafts & elaborating them, to create a comprehensive dynamic "3-D sky-model" moment by moment. 

That would help early alert pilots to avoid collision or dangerous "nearby" positions.

The collision-avoidance intervention might even be carried out AUTOMATICALLY in severe emergencies (without pilot input).

For this particular point : A MANDATORY PROTOCOL regulating the concurrent mutual collision-avoidance actions must be set worldwide to avoid catastrophic conflicts.

For security reasons, Military (& other critical) airplanes might be totally, or partially excluded from this system, or might use it in "one-way-direction" = meaning "only receiving, but not emitting data - or part of it". 

If this System proves success, it would relieve much of the burden off the "Terristitial" Air-Taffic-Control-Systems' shoulders, OR at least "give hand to". And - more importantly - it would decrease or even eliminate, sky collision accidents.
