Default Scared of mid-airs

Actually the "huge fraction" is at the lowest percentage of GDP that
it has been since WW II.


How much money does that actually turn out to be?

You also need a "little space" in the airframe...


In other words, it will take some work on the military's part. But we
had to find "a little space" too, after they invented class Bravo and
the Mode C veil. That's one of the things that money buys you. But you
don't need any interface with the autopilot; you just need blips on a
display showing what's out there. There shouldn't be much other than
what you expect, but the one time there is, you'll know it well in advance.

TCAS is a solution to a particular problem.


Yes, and something similar can be created to assist the military in
avoiding us civilians - the ones you risk your lives to protect in the
first place.
