Device at an airborne vehicle and a method for collision avoidance
First Claim
1. A device at an airborne vehicle, comprising:
- a flight control system arranged to control the behaviour of the airborne vehicle based on acceleration commands,a first control unit arranged to provide said acceleration commands to the flight control system,a collision avoidance unit comprising a detection unit configured to detect whether the airborne vehicle is on a collision course and a second control unit arranged to feed forced acceleration commands to the flight control system upon detection that the airborne vehicle is on a collision course.

Abstract
A device at an airborne vehicle including a flight control system configured to control the behaviour of the airborne vehicle based on acceleration commands, a first control unit configured to provide the acceleration commands to the flight control system, and a collision avoidance unit. The collision avoidance unit includes a detection unit arranged to detect whether the airborne vehicle is on a collision course and a second control unit arranged to feed forced acceleration commands to the flight control system upon detection that the airborne vehicle is on a collision course. A method for collision avoidance in an airborne vehicle.

11. A method for collision avoidance in an airborne vehicle the method comprising:
-
detecting whether the airborne vehicle is on a collision course, forming forced acceleration commands based on a relation between the airborne vehicle and an obstacle, and providing forced acceleration commands to a flight control system of the airborne vehicle upon detection that the airborne vehicle is on a collision course with said obstacle so as to avoid collision. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
