Traffic alert and collision avoidance systems
Published in Mike Tooley, David Wyatt, Aircraft Communications and Navigation Systems, 2017
This is a combined transmitter, receiver and processor that performs a number of functions including:monitoring of the surveillance airspace volume for aircrafttracking other aircraftmonitoring its own aircraft altitudeissuing warnings for potential flight path conflictsproviding recommended manoeuvres to avoid potential flight path conflicts.

Prior to departure, an aircraft will file a flight plan indicating its intended flight path, the location and time of departure, and the arrival airport. As a departing aircraft readies for pushback from the gate, the clearance delivery controller communicates the flight plan to the pilot (although this function is sometimes performed via electronic datalink).
Control parameter tuning for aircraft crosswind landing via multi-solution particle swarm optimization

Qi Bian, Brett Nener, Xinmin Wang
The structure of the lateral automatic landing system is shown in Figure 1. The radar system measures the position and azimuth information of the aircraft to provide online flight path information. The guidance computer compares the current aircraft position with the desired flight path and calculates the commands to the airborne flight control system through the data link. Meanwhile, the aircraft’s states of motion are measured by the INS. All the feedback signals are sent to the flight control system for calculation of the deflection commands for the control surfaces, to keep the bank angle close to zero and alleviate the adverse effects of crosswind.
