摘要:
Systems and methods communicate sensor data pertaining to detected weather between aircraft. An exemplary system has at least one sensor on a transmitting aircraft (318, 320, 322), wherein the sensor is configured to detect weather and configured to output sensor data. The system has a first transceiver (212) on the transmitting aircraft (318, 320, 322) that is configured to transmit a signal with the sensor data. And the system has a second transceiver (212) on a receiving aircraft (304) that is configured to receive the signal containing the sensor data transmitted by the first transceiver (212). The sensor data of the transmitting aircraft (318, 320, 322) is fused with sensor data of the receiving aircraft (304) for a geographic region of interest to extend the effective sensor coverage and to resolve at least one of a location conflict and a severity conflict between the sensor data of the transmitting aircraft (318, 320, 322) and the receiving aircraft (304).

Systems and methods for aiding in pilot awareness of obstacles relative to aircraft features. An exemplary processor 36, 50 receives sensor information from one or more sensors 26 mounted in an aircraft feature (e.g. light modules 30), determines if at least one obstacle is located within a predefined field of view based on the received sensor or database information and generates an image. The image includes an ownship icon having at least one feature representing wingtips of the aircraft and at least one indicator associated with the determined at least one obstacle. A display device 54 presents the generated image. The display device presents a tip of a first sense coverage area adjacent to one wingtip feature associated with the port wing and a tip of the second sense coverage area adjacent to one wingtip feature associated with the starboard wing. The indicator is presented within at least one of the coverage areas.

Systems and methods communicate sensor data pertaining to detected weather between aircraft. An exemplary system receives a signal from a remote aircraft (318, 320, 322) that includes at least sensor data acquired from sensors on the remote aircraft (318, 320, 322). The system fuses the sensor data of the remote aircraft (318, 320, 322) with sensor data of the receiving aircraft (304) to resolve at least one of a location conflict and a severity conflict between the sensor data of the remote aircraft (318, 320, 322) and the receiving aircraft (304). The system presents weather information on a display (218) corresponding to the fused sensor data of the remote aircraft (318, 320, 322) and the receiving aircraft (304).
摘要:
A system is configured to generate and display information regarding a strike zone of an aircraft. In some examples, a system is configured to generate and display an image of an environment around an aircraft together with a graphical indication of a strike zone of the aircraft, where the indication is scaled to reflect the strike zone at a distance range of one or more detected objects.

In some examples, a device or system is configured to create a narrow vertical pathway of detection that permits the enforcement of a fixed "exclusion zone" that is narrow and does not widen with range. An example system located on a vehicle includes at least two vertically separated antennas that receive radar reflection signals, a processor, and an output device. The processor receives the radar reflection signals received by the antennas, determines vertical position of any obstacles identified in the radar reflection signals and determines if the obstacles are within a predefined alert zone. The output device can output an alert if any obstacle is within the alert zone. The predefined alert zone may be related to a protruding portion of the vehicle.

Systems and methods for a target locator device are provided. In one embodiment, a target locator device comprises: a high performance gyroscope; an inertial measurement unit including an accelerometer triad and a gyroscope triad; a rangefinder; a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver; and a processor coupled to the high performance gyroscope, the inertial measurement unit, the rangefinder and the GNSS receiver. The processor derives an alignment heading from a heading measurement provided by the high performance gyroscope. The processor calculates a heading to a target based on a deviation from the alignment heading as measured from a heading and elevation measurement determined from the inertial measurement unit.
