“The cure for the common convoy.”
Jon Howard, Stephen Kerschner, Austen Haines, Collin Goodruff
Develop a method to detect and avoid obstacles while maintaining formation.
Define technique to be utilized
Display warning and suggested collision avoidance method to driver.
Detect on-coming traffic and factor into decision process.
Based on Simplicity
Utilizes Multi-use
Technology
Comparatively Inexpensive
Allows for Easy Black-Out
Maneuverability
Mid-Range Radar•10m to 50m detection Range
Live Satellite Feed •Laptop with integrated display.
IR 360 Thermal Imager + Night Vision

Radar Antenna
50km/hr = 13.89m/s
Time to react: 50m/13.98meters per second = 3.6 seconds to react
Turning Time = 2.5 seconds
This leaves 1.1 seconds to relay orders
Stopping time is 8.86 seconds at 50km/hr

Simple and Highly Effective
Incorporates Several Different Technologies into One Heads Up Display
Allows for Blackout Maneuverability
Can Detect Long Range
