BBJ and Embraer aircraft of Indian Air Force are used for airlift of VVIPs. Both aircraft are fitted with TCAS-II anti-collision systems. The aircraft are supplied with these systems installed as a standard fit. Hence, no separate funds are allocated towards fitment of anti-collision systems. The anti-collision technology is fitted based upon the assessed requirement. All the modern transport aircraft of IAF viz C-17, C-130, BBJ, Embraer, IL-76, IL-78 and AWACS fleet have anti-collision system onboard.
