Of course a military pilot has to be comfortable in close proximity but that's hardly an argument against TCAS. I did acknowledge most of those limitations about ten posts ago. But are we really better off with nothing? Or are we holding out for a (not yet invented) catch-all "magic bullet" system which may not arrive for years, or in context of Tornado, ever?

PS Leon, airports these days are circled by barriers that are more robust than a mini-cooper... But I suppose you could drop one out of a herc!
