Keywords: Air traffic management, automated conflict resolution, collision avoidance

An algorithm and operational concept are proposed for automating the resolution of short range conflicts, defined as those that are less than 2 minutes to loss of separation. The method would automatically up-link resolution advisories to aircraft, thereby reducing controller workload and increasing airspace capacity.
