What exactly is "full-sized" aircraft? Is it general aviation aircraft like Cessna/Piper or something bigger like Boeing 737? I would also like to know how well system would detect another aircraft that is coming head-on. From my own experience it is really hard to see a small 4-seat airplane that is more than 1 mile / 1.6 km away. If another airplane is lower and background is the ground clutter then it is almost impossible to see anything further away than half a mile. If this detection system would work well and would cost less than active traffic systems then it could be used by general aviation airplanes.
