Airborne Separation Assistance Systems (ASAS)

Airborne Separation Assistance Systems (ASAS) are technology tools used by aircraft to help maintain safe distances from each other during flights. They work by sharing real-time position and movement information between planes, allowing pilots or automated systems to better coordinate their routes. This helps prevent collisions and optimizes air traffic flow, especially in busy skies. ASAS enhances safety and efficiency without requiring constant air traffic controller intervention, relying instead on advanced sensors, communications, and algorithms to keep aircraft safely separated during flight.
