    摘要: A method, apparatus and system are provided to permit an aerial asset to determine its current location and to, in turn, locate and track a target even as efforts are made by others to jam or otherwise hinder offboard communications that may prevent reliance upon GPS or other positioning systems. A method includes receiving, at a navigation control vehicle, information regarding the relative position of a target with respect to each of the at least two sonobuoys. The method also determines a relative position of the target with respect to the navigation control vehicle at least partially based on the information regarding the relative position of the target with respect to each of the at least two sonobuoys. The method provides information regarding the relative position of the target to an aerial asset to facilitate location of the target by the aerial asset.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for providing a universal electrical interface between an aircraft and an associated store includes an aircraft interface and a store interface for bidirectionally communicating with the aircraft according to a first predetermined format and with the associated store according to a second predetermined format, respectively, as well as a universal signal conditioner for selectively processing signals received by both the aircraft interface and the store interface. The selective processing includes translating the signals received by the aircraft interface to the second predetermined format of the associated store and translating signals received by the store interface to the first predetermined format of the aircraft. The universal electrical interface also determines the type of aircraft from a number of predetermined types of aircraft, each of which is adapted to process signals according to a different predetermined format. By providing such selective processing of signals of different formats, each of the different types of aircraft can bidirectionally communicate, according to the predetermined format that the aircraft is adapted to process, with the associated store.
