Systems and methods relating to collision avoidance systems for
rotary-winged vehicles having rotors causing a respective communication
interruption are presented. An exemplary vehicle can be assigned with a
unique time slot in a data link communication network for transmitting
data in the form of pulses to other participants, and can include a
central processing unit configured for receiving inertial motion
information from an INS, position information and time synchronization
from a GPS and data indicative of state information of at least one
participant from a data link radio, and for producing a collision
avoidance data regarding the host and the participant, and a radio
controlling utility configured for receiving a pulse width, giving rise
to a modulated pulse, and for generating and transmitting a repetition of
substantially identical modulated pulses, each of which indicating the
state information of the vehicle, thereby substantially reducing data
discrepancies due to rotor interruptions.
