TCAS was developed after several deadly mid-air collisions and became mandatory on large commercial aircraft in the United States in the early 1990s, with similar rules following internationally. The system monitors nearby transponders and issues coordinated Resolution Advisories like Increase Climb when a conflict is predicted. Pilots are trained to follow the voice command immediately, even over air traffic control instructions. Recordings and recreations of these alerts spread through flight simulator communities and aviation channels, turning the clipped cockpit phrase into a recognizable sound for danger in the sky.
