What does a Conflict Alert notify radar controllers about?

A Conflict Alert is a critical tool used by radar controllers to address and manage safety in air traffic. It provides an immediate notification of existing or impending conflicts between aircraft, essentially alerting controllers to situations where two or more aircraft are on a collision course or too close to each other, which necessitates intervention. This capability ensures that controllers can promptly take action to maintain safe separation and prevent potential mid-air collisions.

By focusing on traffic situations, the Conflict Alert system plays a vital role in situational awareness, allowing controllers to assess the aviation environment efficiently and respond appropriately to ensure the safety of all airborne operations.
