Systems and methods for managing mission-specific avionics features in a connected aircraft environment

A server that transmits a notification to modify vehicle features specific to a mission for a vehicle, comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a process including:
• obtaining feature information about the vehicle, the feature information indicating a sub-set of features the vehicle has enabled out of a full-set of features available to the vehicle;
• monitoring a vehicle state of the vehicle, the vehicle state including at least one of a mission plan of the vehicle, external parameters of the vehicle, or vehicle parameters of the vehicle;
• detecting changes in the vehicle state by comparing a current vehicle state to a historical vehicle state;
• in response to detecting a change in the vehicle state, determining whether to transmit a notification to modify the sub-set of the features the vehicle has enabled based on an analysis of the change in the vehicle state;
• and
• in response to determining to transmit the notification, transmitting to the vehicle the notification to modify the sub-set of the features the vehicle has enabled.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a server, cause the server to perform a method for transmitting a notification to modify vehicle features specific to a mission for a vehicle, the method comprising:

• obtaining feature information about the vehicle, the feature information indicating a sub-set of features the vehicle has enabled out of a full-set of features available to the vehicle;
• monitoring a vehicle state of the vehicle, the vehicle state including at least one of a mission plan of the vehicle, external parameters of the vehicle, or vehicle parameters of the vehicle;
• detecting changes in the vehicle state by comparing a current vehicle state to a historical vehicle state;
• in response to detecting a change in the vehicle state, determining whether to transmit a notification to modify the sub-set of the features the vehicle has enabled based on an analysis of the change in the vehicle state;
• and
• in response to determining to transmit the notification, transmitting to the vehicle the notification to modify the sub-set of the features the vehicle has enabled.
