Use Of Conflict Space Depiction for Detect and Avoid: History, Rationale and State-Of-The-Art

In 2008, the depiction of the predicted `conflict space' was proposed as a means to provide the pilot with the information needed to remain Well Clear. In this paper, it is discussed how results from flight testing, MOPS development and new ideas were the basis for the evolution of the concept of conflict space depiction as first presented in 2008 to today's implementation in Conflict Prediction and Display System (CPDS) and the DELPHINS Synthetic Vision System (SVS).
