The primary objective of this analysis was the development of a littoral correlated and uncorrelated encounter model for use in collision avoidance and sense and avoid system evaluation. In addition, a methodology was developed to determine whether the models were both distinctive from the continental United States encounter models and sufficient in terms of the quantity of data used to build the models. Application of this methodology demonstrated that both the littoral correlated and uncorrelated model characteristics were different than the previous models and that sufficient data were used to build the models. Lastly, this analysis determined that although the encounter initial conditions tend to vary in a littoral environment, the aircraft dynamic behavior, or how the various aircraft states transition during the encounter, remains the same. |
