A UAV Drone Versus a C-130 in a mid-air collision-We know who won, but need more programming

There is an old Hollywood plane film called; "The crowded Skies" and there is a collision in the film just prior to the midair collision, midair and the pilots are on this potential opportunity, and what they might do if that situation ever where two planes came to each other head on, and they had at the last minute to decide which way to go to avoid the collision. Most all pilots and that in the aviation industry have seen the movie, and it is a classic.

In the United States we have the Federal Aviation Administration, and a lot of aviation radars, satellite systems and great communication to prevent midair collisions. This makes aviation safer air travel, and also makes it extremely safe for the passengers by aircraft and confidence airline passengers and the industry. However, what about in the modern battlespace where you aircraft flying around doing different missions in times of war?

Things can get quite dangerous because there are several military operations, some of them secret, and not all will know where everyone else is different aircraft. Well, today we have technologies for Net-Centric Warfare, which means that everyone is in constant communication, but what happens if not all of the aircraft in the battlespace, flown by pilots and some of them are flown by computers, or tele-Robot from thousands of miles away? Theoretically, everything must be known, so no problems right? Hmm, well then.

Recently there was an interesting article titled defense in AOL; "Drone clashes On Afghanistan with u.s. fighter," b y Colin Clark published on 17 August 2011. The article indicated;

"Washington: a relatively small unmanned aircraft hit a C-130 cargo plane over Afghanistan, injuring no one but again raising questions about or drones can fly in US airspace safely," and "the drone, a shadow of a unit of Textron systems, has a maximum height of about 15,000 meters in use, but usually works at lower altitudes to carry out its mission tactical reconnaissance. No one was injured in the collision, but the C-130 made an emergency landing. The 12-foot drone. "

Now then, although this is the first major mid-air accidental collision with an unmanned aerial vehicle with an aircraft controlled by human pilots was, it's a wake-up call. It also means that we need more coordination between the branches of our military, and these unmanned aerial vehicles must have a kind of collision avoidance system that inherits from the tele-Robot operator for a few seconds to get out of harm's way, in other words, to avoid the possible collision must be autonomous, and then the hand itself back to its operator or controller. Please consider all of this and think of it.
