System and method for communicating high fidelity aircraft trajectory-related information through standard aircraft trajectory conventions

A system for communicating high fidelity (HIFI) trajectory-related information of an aerial vehicle (AV) through standard aircraft trajectory conventions, the system comprising:

• a flight intent encoder configured to obtain, from a first entity, a flight intent containing low fidelity (LOFI) trajectory-related information and intent generation (IG) configuration parameters defining constraints, objectives, or a combination thereof, supplementary to the flight intent, wherein the IG configuration parameters contain the HIFI trajectory-related information for closing all degrees of freedom of motion of the AV and configuration;
• the flight intent encoder further configured to encode, using a conventional flight plan protocol, LOFI trajectory-related information from the flight intent and IG configuration parameters as a flight plan and user-defined fields available for information exchange;
• and
• the flight intent encoder further configured to send, to a second entity, the flight plan and the user-defined fields.

A system for communicating high fidelity (HIFI) trajectory-related information of an aerial vehicle (AV) through standard aircraft trajectory conventions, the system comprising:

• a flight intent decoder of the AV configured to receive, from a second entity, a flight plan and user-defined fields for additional information exchange in a conventional flight plan protocol;
• and
• the flight intent decoder further configured to decode the flight plan and the user-defined fields and to recover a flight intent containing low fidelity (LOFI) trajectory-related information and intent generation (IG) configuration parameters defining constraints, objectives, or a combination thereof,
• supplementary to the flight intent, wherein the IG configuration parameters contain the HIFI trajectory-related information for closing all degrees of freedom of motion and configuration.
