What ever happened to the idea of a traffic warning system that uses an active system in the airplane? I remember hearing something about that concept years ago; I recall it was something NASA had developed and it was being tested in AK.
More recently, some of the free magazines and papers that show up at my doorstep since i signed for lessons had some article about the same general idea. In those articles, there was something about it being held up in the FAA or congress (surprise, surprise).
So, anyone have any idea of what i am talking about?!?
Incidentally, here's a wiki article about current collision avoidance systems: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_collision_avoidance_systems
