    Abstract: A method and system for use onboard an ownship, the method includes generating on a cockpit display an alignment symbol, track bug, and heading bug to aid to align a track angle and heading of the ownship with a runway course by a pilot; and enabling a pilot to view the alignment symbol, the track bug and the heading bug and to maneuver the ownship to maintain first, an alignment of the heading to the runway course and second, to attempt to align a track angle of the ownship with the runway course by adjustments made to maneuver the ownship in a course of landing by a view of a relative position of each of the alignment symbol, the track bug, and the heading bug to each other to serve as an indicator to the pilot of adjustments needed in the course of landing.

    Abstract: In one example, this disclosure is directed to a system configured to receive weather data from one or more weather data sources. The system is further configured to receive, from a requesting weather radar system, a request for supplemental weather data covering an identified region, wherein the requesting weather radar system is associated with a specific weather radar data format. The system is further configured to identify a set of supplemental weather data for the identified region, based on the received weather data from the one or more weather data sources, wherein the supplemental weather data is in the specific weather radar data format associated with the requesting weather radar system and comprises weather forecast information for the identified region. The system is further configured to transmit the supplemental weather data for the identified region to the requesting weather radar system.

    Abstract: A system is described that is configured to receive surveillance data from a vehicle, determine a location of the vehicle based at least in part on the received surveillance data, and determine a course of the vehicle based at least in part on the received surveillance data. The system is further configured to predict a future vehicle maneuver for the vehicle based at least in part on the location and the course of the vehicle, and based at least in part on a set of protocol data indicating one or more standard procedures for one or more vehicle maneuvers. The system is further configured to determine, based at least in part on the predicted future vehicle maneuver, a modified protection volume for the vehicle that is modified relative to a baseline protection volume for the vehicle. The system is further configured to generate an output based on the modified protection volume.

    Abstract: An actively powered wearable weather radar detection device may include a battery, at least one microstrip antenna, and a microcontroller electrically coupled to the battery and the at least one microstrip antenna. The microstrip antenna may be configured to receive a weather radar signal from an airplane, convert the weather radar signal into an electrical signal, and output the electrical signal. The microcontroller may be configured to determine, based on the electrical signal, whether to output an alert signal, and responsive to determining to output an alert signal, send a command signal to an alert device causing the alert device to output the alert signal.
