Narrative:

Air carrier X was being vectored from the northwest of bradley for the ILS runway 6. Air carrier Y was at 3000 ft on a right downwind for the ILS runway 6. Air carrier X was given a turn to intercept the localizer, but went through slightly. I gave him another turn to intercept and air carrier X reported he had an RA and was climbing. I advised air carrier X that the traffic was behind him and was 3 mi off his right side. Supplemental information from acn 218274: air carrier X was being handled by bdl approach control for an ILS to runway 6. We were in IMC. We were given a left turn to a heading of 080 degrees to intercept and maintain 2500 ft until established on localizer. The turn was given too late and we went through, and were turned to 030 degrees to reintercept. When just about to reach 030 degrees and 2500 ft, our TCASII gave us 'traffic.' we had a target rapidly converging from 10 O'clock and 500 ft below. The altitude rapidly decreased to 200 ft as TCASII gave us a climb command, which we accomplished. The above all took place very rapidly, and all in IMC. The target passed directly below us. The approach was successfully completed. At no time did approach control mention the conflicting traffic.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: ACR X TCASII TA RA CLB EVASIVE ACTION TAKEN FROM ACR Y.

Narrative: ACR X WAS BEING VECTORED FROM THE NW OF BRADLEY FOR THE ILS RWY 6. ACR Y WAS AT 3000 FT ON A R DOWNWIND FOR THE ILS RWY 6. ACR X WAS GIVEN A TURN TO INTERCEPT THE LOC, BUT WENT THROUGH SLIGHTLY. I GAVE HIM ANOTHER TURN TO INTERCEPT AND ACR X RPTED HE HAD AN RA AND WAS CLBING. I ADVISED ACR X THAT THE TFC WAS BEHIND HIM AND WAS 3 MI OFF HIS R SIDE. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 218274: ACR X WAS BEING HANDLED BY BDL APCH CTL FOR AN ILS TO RWY 6. WE WERE IN IMC. WE WERE GIVEN A L TURN TO A HDG OF 080 DEGS TO INTERCEPT AND MAINTAIN 2500 FT UNTIL ESTABLISHED ON LOC. THE TURN WAS GIVEN TOO LATE AND WE WENT THROUGH, AND WERE TURNED TO 030 DEGS TO REINTERCEPT. WHEN JUST ABOUT TO REACH 030 DEGS AND 2500 FT, OUR TCASII GAVE US 'TFC.' WE HAD A TARGET RAPIDLY CONVERGING FROM 10 O'CLOCK AND 500 FT BELOW. THE ALT RAPIDLY DECREASED TO 200 FT AS TCASII GAVE US A CLB COMMAND, WHICH WE ACCOMPLISHED. THE ABOVE ALL TOOK PLACE VERY RAPIDLY, AND ALL IN IMC. THE TARGET PASSED DIRECTLY BELOW US. THE APCH WAS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED. AT NO TIME DID APCH CTL MENTION THE CONFLICTING TFC.
