TCAS TCAD they are all a bit different but basically perform the same function to varying degrees of cleverness or ability.
I agree with SL Grossman, they are a great piece of kit and ghave been much better than the previous equipment in the GOM which was NOTHING!
Beware, in the NS, the industry may see it as a way of you guys doing your own ATC and separation, thereby saving the oil companies a dollar or two in fixed offshore nav charges.
Either that or the operators will pocket the charge and give you TCAS instead!
Overall, if you can afford it, get it.
