Dr Radhakant Padhi from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has developed a technology that can prevent mid-air collisions.
Originally developed for manned and unmanned UAVs, the algorithm can be used to help aerospace vehicles reach their destination should they deviate from their predefined path, according to the Economics Times.

The IISc professor received $80,000 in funding from the US Air Force Research Lab to develop collision avoidance algorithms for UAVs, after presenting a white paper on their use.
The MPSP algorithm is an advanced version of the one developed by Padhi in 1996, which can be deployed in missile technology to detect and destroy a target.
