All commercial aircraft have a system called TCAS which stands for traffic collision avoidance system which is supposed to warn the pilot of an aircraft that is to close. I don’t think that combat aircraft have it.

I heard that the TCAS system automatically shuts down below 1,000 feet. Some guy on Fox News this morning said that

But by design, the TCAS system does not generate any warnings once an aircraft is below 1000'.
