    Abstract: An enhanced flight control system and method providing a technological improvement over a conventional flight control systems. A control module employs rules to determine whether or not a received traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) evasive maneuver is automatically implemented. Specifically, the control module effectively couples the TCAS to the FMS, allowing access to the flight plan and to the navigation database and the approach procedures and runway data therein. An algorithm determines when there is a co-occurrence of the conditions (1) a flight plan uploaded in the FMS, (2) autopilot is engaged, (3) VNAV is engaged. Upon co-occurrence of (1) and (2) and (3), and an evasive maneuver is received from a TCAS, the control module determines whether or not to automatically implement the evasive maneuver. Look ahead algorithms may also analyse and modify the flight plan to preclude TCAS alerts and evasive procedures being required.

    Abstract: In some examples, a terrain awareness device includes processing circuitry configured to determine a terrain feature in a travel path of the ownship vehicle. The processing circuitry is also configured to present, on a display, a first graphical user interface indicating the terrain feature. The terrain awareness device also includes a memory configured to store a location of the terrain feature, and the terrain awareness device is configured to receive traffic data from a traffic device. The processing circuitry is further configured to determine a location of a second vehicle based on the traffic data and determine that the ownship first vehicle has been instructed to synchronize with a second vehicle. The processing circuitry is configured to generate a second graphical user interface indicating that the ownship vehicle has been instructed to synchronize with the second vehicle and present the second graphical user interface on the display.

    Abstract: A receiver includes an RF module to receive and down convert multiple types of RF signals received from at least one antenna; a communication unit configured to communicate signals with at least one external device; and a processing unit communicatively coupling the radio frequency module with the communication unit. Processing unit receives operation mode selection. When first operation mode is selected, processing unit receives first input signal from antenna via RF module (the first input signal including ILS signal and/or VOR signal) and outputs first output signal based on first input signal to external device. When second operational mode is selected, processing unit receives second input signal from antenna via radio frequency unit (second input signal including AIS signal including data regarding a current location of remotely located transmitting device) and outputs second output signal based on second input signal to external device.

    Abstract: A vehicle having a doppler based cellular navigation system is provided. The vehicle includes a radio frequency (RF) antenna, an RF receiver in communication with the RF antenna, a memory and a controller. The memory includes a ground-based RF emitter database with ground-based RF emitter location information. The controller is in communication with the RF receiver and the memory. The controller is configured to monitor a doppler shift in received RF signals from ground-based RF emitters. The controller is further configured to determine location information when the controller detects a doppler shift in a received RF signal of zero. The controller is further configured to implement the determined location information in navigating a vehicle.
