Level C training focuses on resistance to exploitation and interrogation, survival during isolation and captivity, and escape from hostiles (e.g., "prison camps"). "Escape Training" has elements similar to evasion and resistance training – if details are revealed, it potentially helps adversaries.
A traffic alert and collision avoidance system (TCAS, pronounced / t iː k æ s /; TEE-kas), is an aircraft collision avoidance system designed to reduce the incidence of mid-air collision (MAC) between aircraft.
A collision avoidance system (CAS), also known as a pre-crash system, forward collision warning system (FCW), or collision mitigation system, is an advanced driver-assistance system designed to prevent or reduce the severity of a collision.
In transportation, collision avoidance is the maintenance of systems and practices designed to prevent vehicles (such as aircraft, motor vehicles, ships, cranes and trains) from colliding with each other. Examples include: Airborne collision avoidance systems for aircraft; Automatic Identification System for collision avoidance in water transport
Excessive avoidance has been suggested to contribute to anxiety disorders, leading psychologists and neuroscientists to study how avoidance behaviors are learned using rat or mouse models. Avoidance learning is a type of operant conditioning (also known as instrumental conditioning).
It was the 60th 12 Hours of Sebring and the first round of both the 2012 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) and the 2012 American Le Mans Series (ALMS). Le Mans Prototype 1 (LMP1), Le Mans Prototype 2 (LMP2), Le Mans Prototype Challenge (LMPC), Le Mans Grand Touring Endurance (LMGTE), and Grand Touring Challenge (GTC) cars competed in the race.
An airborne collision avoidance system (ACAS, usually pronounced as ay-kas) operates independently of ground-based equipment and air traffic control in warning pilots of the presence of other aircraft that may present a threat of collision. If the risk of collision is imminent, the system recommends a maneuver that will reduce the risk of ...
By delaying studies for a year, Emily and her husband can accumulate an emergency fund to serve as a safety net for the family.
Altitude sickness, the mildest form being acute mountain sickness ( AMS ), is a harmful effect of high altitude, caused by rapid exposure to low amounts of oxygen at high elevation. [1] [2] [3] People can respond to high altitude in different ways.
The Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (Auto-GCAS) enhances safety by mitigating controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) accidents. The Auto-GCAS team was awarded the 2018 Collier Trophy for the design-integration and flight testing in the F-35, marking the year's greatest achievement in aeronautics.
