摘要: A method for controlling a searchlight onboard a vehicle to search for a target using an illuminated area. The method obtains position data (including at least a current azimuth value) and attitude data (including at least a current elevation value) for the searchlight; calculates a point of interest (POI) for the searchlight and a defined search area to search for the target, based on the current azimuth value and the current elevation value, the POI comprising a searchlight center point of impact or a moving target location; optimizes a searchlight coverage area for the defined search area, based on the POI; computes an adjustment to current parameters of the searchlight for generating the optimized searchlight coverage area, wherein the set of adjusted parameters comprises at least one of an adjusted illumination area and an adjusted illumination density value; and initiates operation of the searchlight using the set of adjusted parameters.

摘要: In some examples, a system includes a range sensor configured to receive signals reflected from objects in an environment and generate two or more successive scans of the environment at different times. The system also includes a camera configured to capture two or more successive camera images of the environment, wherein each of the two or more successive camera images of the environment is captured by the camera at a different location within the environment. The system further includes processing circuitry configured to generate a three-dimensional map of the environment based on the two or more successive scans and the two or more successive camera images.

摘要: Systems and Methods for Collaborative Vehicle Mission Operations are provided. In one embodiment, a method to facilitate collaborative vehicle mission operations comprises: inputting a deployment position and a selected mission category into a mission crew personal computing device; wirelessly communicating the deployment position and the selected mission category to a support vehicle, the support vehicle comprising a mission sensor and a mission computer; receiving the deployment position at a navigation system onboard the vehicle and navigating the vehicle to the deployment position; configuring the operation of the mission sensor and mission computer as defined by a predefined mission profile stored onboard the vehicle; preprocessing sensor measurements from the sensor to extract a subset of data defined as relevant to the mission category based on the predefined mission profile; and transmitting the subset of data defined as relevant to the selected mission category to the mission crew personal computing device.

摘要: Systems and methods are provided for determining diversion airports for landing an aircraft in adverse conditions. A communication device is configured to facilitate the transmission and display of flight information. A ground based monitoring server (GBMS) communicates with the aircraft over a wireless communication channel. The GBMS has a diversion landing prediction assistance system (DLPAS) that communicates with and queries an aircraft flight parameter database, an airport parameter database, and an airport weather database. The DLPAS monitors parameters from the databases, determines a destination probability of the aircraft to land at the destination airport based on the monitored parameters, and, when the destination probability for a successful landing is less than a predetermined destination threshold, selects a diversion airport to land the aircraft. The GBMS transmits the selected diversion airport to the aircraft.

摘要: A method for providing air traffic control (ATC) message data onboard an aircraft is provided. The method identifies ATC commands associated with text-based messages, by at least one processor onboard the aircraft, wherein the ATC commands comprise instructions to follow one or more particular procedures associated with the ATC audio messages and the ATC direct text messages; identifies, by the at least one processor, graphical content associated with the ATC commands; and presents an ATC graphical rendering environment comprising at least the graphical content, via at least one aircraft onboard display communicatively coupled to the at least one processor.

摘要: A sense and avoid (SAA) module of a vehicle may receive a signal indicating a value of an environmental parameter. Additionally, the SAA system determines, based on the value of the environmental parameter, confidences value for a first and a second sensor group. The SAA system is configurable to determine a depth of an object based on signals from the first sensor group and is also configurable to determine the depth of the object based on signals from the second sensor group. The SAA system may determine, based on the depth of the object determined based on the signals from the first sensor group, the confidence value for the first sensor group, the depth of the object determined based on the signals from the second sensor group, and the confidence value for the second sensor group, a final 3-dimensional position of the object.
