MIT Advance ADS-B with VeriTAS  By Stephen Pope / Published: Apr
09, 2013 Avidyne and MIT researchers have been working for the
past three years on improved ADS-B traffic alerting algorithms
that the FAA hopes to use as the baseline standard for the
entire avionics industry. Now the collaboration has led to the
development of an Avidyne traffic alert feature called VeriTAS
that has the goal of providing more precise collision alerting
while eliminating nuisance alerts. At a Sun ‘n Fun press
conference on Tuesday morning, Avidyne founder Dan Schwinn
outlined the basics of the VeriTAS concept. The word veritas is
latin for “truth,” and that’s exactly what the Avidyne and MIT
software seeks to give pilots by creating two distinct zones of
protection around aircraft, the larger of which can dynamically
change depending on the severity of the traffic threat. VeriTAS
