Standard techniques such as testing and simulation have serious limitations in new systems that are significantly more autonomous than the older ones. This paper presents an innovative approach, based on formal verification, for establishing the correctness of conflict detection systems. Fundamental is the concept of trajectory, which is a continuous path in the x-y plane constrained by physical laws and operational requirements. From the Model of trajectories, the authors extract, and formally prove, high level properties that can serve as a framework to analyze conflict scenarios. They use the AILS alerting algorithm as a case study.
