Both aircraft were in contact with DC tower at time of the collision. Both aircraft appeared on the tower’s radar. TCAS in PSA RJ should have detected the transponder in BH. It is unlikely that the BH was equipped with any form of TCAS other than the pilots “see and avoid”. https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/psa-airlines-crj-700-collides-with-us-military-helicopter-in-washington-dc/
