AIRSpacer is a backup, on board, autonomous separation management system used in “tracks” and Flight Information Regions (FIRs) to enable any equipped aircraft to automatically establish safe separation from other aircraft in its airspace.*

  • Leverages existing GPS/ADS-B In/Out data, monitors potential incursions, and vectors to optimal safety without ATC intervention.

​​

  • Equipped aircraft automatically vector away from each other, while remaining safely distant from surrounding aircraft.

​​

  • Integrates with the aircraft’s flight management system.   

*This is not a Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) which happens at much closer ranges.

Autonomously directs any aircraft to its safest separation by establishing a 3-D perimeter, monitoring for penetration, and moving to the centroid of the penetrated airspace

Crowded tracks

Airspeed Systems AIRSpacer Crowded Tracks

Intended as a backup only, provides safe separation across increasingly crowded tracks without external airspace management directions/advisories

Compromised airspace

Airspeed Systems AIRSpacer Compromised Airspace

Supports safe separation in all three dimensions when wind shear and jet stream forces challenge timing and effective separation

Air traffic control use

Airspeed Systems AIRSpacer Air Traffic Control Use

Extends airspace traffic management capacity by automating formulation of corrective actions for directions and advisories to ATCs or to pilots directly.

AIRSpacer then computes the position of the centroid of the penetrated airspace and generates a vector (direction and speed) toward it, away from the penetrating aircraft, but also safely distant from virtual or actual aircraft on its pre-existing perimeter.

When aircraft violate safe separation, their perimeters become “deformed” along the areas that are too close. AIRSpacer  dynamically recomputes the dimensions of the deformed perimeter incorporating the vertex created by penetrating aircraft.

AIRSpacer establishes a GPS-defined virtual perimeter along the minimum longitudinal, lateral, and vertical separation peripheries around the reference aircraft.
