Abstract
Various systems may benefit from the appropriate interworking of subsystems. For example, various avionics systems and method may benefit from the integration of terrain and/or weather avoidance, for example with other detection and avoidance subsystems. A method can include determining, by an avionics system, a hazard condition with respect to an ownship aircraft. The method can also include generating, by the avionics system, a maneuver inhibition based on the determined hazard condition. The method can further include providing the maneuver inhibition to a traffic avoidance or alerting system.
Claims19
A method, comprising:
- determining, by an avionics system, a hazard condition with respect to an ownship aircraft;
- generating, by the avionics system, a maneuver inhibition based on the determined hazard condition;
- and
- providing the maneuver inhibition to a traffic avoidance or alerting system.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a traffic avoidance or alerting system, a maneuver inhibition from an avionics system;
- determining, by the traffic avoidance or alerting system, a threat to an ownship aircraft from a target aircraft;
- and
- generating, by the traffic avoidance or alerting system, a maneuver for the ownship aircraft based on the determined threat and the received maneuver inhibition.
A method, comprising:
- determining, by an integrated avionics system, a hazard condition with respect to an ownship aircraft;
- generating, by the integrated avionics system, a maneuver inhibition based on the determined hazard condition;
- determining, by the integrated avionics system, a threat to an ownship aircraft from a target aircraft;
- and
- generating, by the integrated avionics system, a maneuver for the ownship aircraft based on the determined threat and the received maneuver inhibition.
A system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the system at least to
- determine, by an avionics system, a hazard condition with respect to an ownship aircraft;
- generate, by the avionics system, a maneuver inhibition based on the determined hazard condition;
- and
- provide the maneuver inhibition to a traffic avoidance or alerting system.
A system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the system at least to
- receive, by a traffic avoidance or alerting system, a maneuver inhibition from an avionics system;
- determine, by the traffic avoidance or alerting system, a threat to an ownship aircraft from a target aircraft;
- and
- generate, by the traffic avoidance or alerting system, a maneuver for the ownship aircraft based on the determined threat and the received maneuver inhibition.
A system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the system at least to
- determine, by an integrated avionics system, a hazard condition with respect to an ownship aircraft;
- generate, by the integrated avionics system, a maneuver inhibition based on the determined hazard condition;
- determine, by the integrated avionics system, a threat to an ownship aircraft from a target aircraft;
- and
- generate, by the integrated avionics system, a maneuver for the ownship aircraft based on the determined threat and the received maneuver inhibition.
