1. A device comprising:
- at least one antenna;
an RFID device in signal communication with the at least one antenna, the RFID device configured to provide identification information via the at least one antenna in response to a read pulse received at the at least one antenna;
a receiver in signal communication with the at least one antenna;
a processor configured toreceive a signal from the at least one antenna;
determine whether identification information included in the received signal matches identification information of the RFID device; and
if the identification information of the received signal matches the identification information of the RFID device, generate an alert signal; and
an output device configured to provide an alert based on the generated alert signal.

Abstract
Systems and methods for embedding a warning signal in a sensor pulse. When a taxi anticollision system of a host aircraft senses a threat headed for the aircraft, a warning signal is embedded in a sensor pulse to warn the offending vehicle that it is in the field of view of the host aircraft'"'"'s sensor and is moving on a trajectory that is threatening collision with the host aircraft. Alternately, the radar issues a dedicated pulse for reading and alerting the receiving device.

6. A device located on a host vehicle, the device comprising:
-
a transceiver; and a processor coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to transmit a read pulse via the transceiver; receive a return signal based on the read pulse; determine whether a target identified by the return signal is on a collision course with the host vehicle; determine whether the return signal includes identification information; and generate a warning signal if the target and the host vehicle are determined to be on a collision course, wherein the transceiver is configured to transmit the warning signal, wherein the warning signal comprises the identification information if determined to be included in the return signal. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)

10. A method performed by a device having at least one antenna, an RFID device, a processor and an output device, the method comprising:
-
at the at least one antenna, receiving a read pulse; at the RFID device in signal communication with the at least one antenna, providing identification information via the at least one antenna in response to a read pulse received at the at least one antenna; at the processor, receiving a signal from the at least one antenna; determining whether identification information included in the received signal matches identification information of the RFID device; if the identification information of the received signal matches the identification information of the RFID device, generating an alert signal; and at the output device, outputting an alert based on the generated alert signal. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
