RDRTec’s RACAS’s Active Element Scanned Array design approach to meet collision avoidance performance, SWaPC and cost goals utilizes RDRTec’s unique array topology.RDRTec has been developing, enhancing, and extending the Common Radar Airborne Collision Avoidance System (C-RACAS) and associated modeling and simulation tools for non-cooperative conflict avoidance for both Triton and Fire Scout. C-RACAS is derived from the innovative RACAS design employing identical WRAs for multiple platforms. Due to the different platform-intruder closing speeds, C-RACAS performance is scaled by uniquely configuring the identical Antenna Assembly WRA’s for Fire Scout and Triton. This results in scaled SAA Size Weight Power and Cooling (SWaPC) requirements for each platform.
