Here is what the article said about the collision avoidance system:

As the Boeing 757 continued its climb, Triaca said, its onboard collision avoidance system, T-CAS, indicated the presence of another aircraft where it should not have been. The United jet had to level off at 10,800 feet (3,276 meters) to allow the military jet to pass overhead.

The Air Force confirmed it is investigating the United report. Dennis Shoffner, a spokesman for Edwards Air Force Base, said the plane involved in the incident was on a training flight and was "not in stealth configuration." He said the aircraft was flying according to Federal Aviation Administration rules and had a standard transponder to alert other aircraft to its presence.
