Methods and systems for modifying a flight plan based on focus boom detection

A system for modifying a flight plan of a vehicle, the system comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• one or more processors executing the instructions to perform a method including:
• receiving speed data, altitude data, attitude data, and flight path data for a flight path of the vehicle, the flight path data including one or more maneuvers to be performed by the vehicle, and corresponding locations, as part of the flight plan;
• identifying at least one maneuver, of the one or more maneuvers, that will generate a focus boom, based on the received flight path data and permissible threshold boom values for locations along a boom footprint of the at least one maneuver;
• receiving, from another vehicle positioned at an upcoming location along the flight plan that the vehicle is expected to reach within a predetermined period of time, weather-based environment data associated with the upcoming location;
• generating an adjustment to at least one of a speed, an altitude, an attitude, a location, and a turn radius of the at least one maneuver based on the received speed data, altitude data, attitude data, and flight path data, and based on the permissible threshold boom values for the locations along the boom footprint of the at least one maneuver, and based on the weather-based environment data, wherein the generating the adjustment comprises generating the adjustment to the at least one of the speed, the altitude, the attitude, the location, and the turns radius sequentially and in a predetermined order;
• updating the flight plan based on the generated adjustment to the at least one of the speed, the altitude, the attitude, the location, and the turn radius of the at least one maneuver;
• and
• performing the at least one maneuver according to the updated flight plan.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method for modifying a flight plan of a vehicle, the method comprising:

• receiving speed data, altitude data, attitude data, and flight path data for a flight path of the vehicle, the flight path data including one or more maneuvers to be performed by the vehicle, and corresponding locations, as part of the flight plan;
• identifying at least one maneuver, of the one or more maneuvers, that will generate a focus boom, based on the received flight path data and permissible threshold boom values for locations along a boom footprint of the at least one maneuver;
• receiving, at the computer control system and from another vehicle positioned at an upcoming location along the flight plan that the vehicle is expected to reach within a predetermined period of time, weather-based environment data associated with the upcoming location;
• generating an adjustment to at least one of a speed, an altitude, an attitude, a location, and a turn radius of the at least one maneuver based on the received speed data, altitude data, attitude data, and flight path data, and based on the permissible threshold boom values for the locations along the boom footprint of the at least one maneuver, and based on the weather-based environment data, wherein the generating the adjustment comprises generating the adjustment to the at least one of the speed, the altitude, the attitude, the location, and the turns radius sequentially and in a predetermined order;
• updating the flight plan based on the generated adjustment to the at least one of the speed, the altitude, the attitude, the location, and the turn radius of the at least one maneuver;
• and
• performing the at least one maneuver according to the updated flight plan.
