TCAS alerts at DCA were "Secret Service and U.S. Navy activity" and "the two agencies “improperly” testing counter-drone technology near the airport on March 1." per US Senator. https://www.flyingmag.com/false-alerts-dca-cause/

Flights to Reagan National Airport in D.C. receive false collision alerts while landing https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dc-airport-false-collision-alerts/ #tcas #aviation #falsealarm #DCA

"Vulnerabilities in TCAS II collision warning system for civil aircraft identified by CYD Campus ((NDR Cyber_Defence Campus))

"The CYD Campus has subjected the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) II used in civil aviation to a comprehensive technical security analysis. The manufacturers and aviation authorities in Europe and the United States have been informed. The published vulnerabilities were classified as moderate and severe, respectively, by the US Cyber Defense Agency CISA and the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) of the United States.."

"In autumn 2023, the team succeeded in triggering false warnings on a pilot cockpit in their laboratory using a certified TCAS processor from Garmin with its own radio setup. These results were then demonstrated at the DEF CON hacker conference in Las Vegas and at the Usenix security conference in Philadelphia in summer 2024."

"Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) II"
⬇️
( CVE-2024-9310 )By utilizing software-defined radios and a custom low-latency processing pipeline, RF signals with spoofed location data can be transmitted to aircraft targets. This can lead to the appearance of fake aircraft on displays and potentially trigger undesired Resolution Advisories"
⬇️
( CVE-2024-11166 ) For TCAS II systems using transponders compliant with MOPS earlier than RTCA DO-181F, an attacker can impersonate a ground station and issue a Comm-A Identity Request. This action can set the Sensitivity Level Control (SLC) to the lowest setting and disable the Resolution Advisory (RA), leading to a denial-of-service condition."

Why Didn't Technology Prevent The Deadly Air Collision Over Washington?
31 January 2025
Chrystal Zhang, The Conversation
"TCAS is an aircraft safety system that monitors the airspace around a plane for other aircraft equipped with transponders. These are devices that listen for and respond to incoming electronic signals… #TCAS has limitations… inhibited at altitudes below roughly 300 metres."

- Was the Blackhawk „visible“ ?
meaning

- Did it trigger a #TCAS advisory when it was approaching the plane fast from behind ???

- if not, why not ?

#washington #DC #AA5342

News tonight of a government BlackHawk helicopter on a VIP transport training mission causing a midair collisions with a commercial airliner landing in DC.

Unconfirmed reports of four survivors so far, developing situation.

This is the most serious domestic US commercial air disaster since 2009.

Why do #planes have headlights? I was just driving home from work and an #aircraft caught my attention. It’s a beautifully clear night #tonight, and I could see the blackness of the sky lit up by the beam of this plane’s headlight. They’re at about 7000ft when they pass over me en route to #MAN, but I have to wonder what’s the point? If they see another aircraft then #TCAS has failed spectacularly, so what exactly is the reason?
