Abstract
A method of forming a virtual three-dimensional radar display on a radar page comprising the steps of (i) establishing a split window display showing a 2-dimensional view of altitude representation of own ship and target's information; and (ii) combining range and azimuth information onto the radar page, thereby the radar page provides the pilot of an aircraft with a three-dimensional perspective of the own ship and targets' profile. The three-dimensional perspective of the own ship and targets information greatly enhances the situation awareness of the pilot.
Claims21
A method of forming a virtual three-dimensional radar display on a radar page, said radar page including target information of at least one target detected by a radar system, said method comprising the steps of:
- establishing a split window display showing a 2-dimensional view of altitude representation of own aircraft and target's information;
- and
- combining range and azimuth information onto the radar page, thereby the radar page providing the pilot of an aircraft with a three-dimensional perspective of the craft and targets' profile.
An apparatus for forming a virtual three-dimensional radar display on a radar page comprising the steps of:
- means for establishing a split window display showing a 2-dimensional view of altitude representation of own aircraft and target's information;
- and
- means for combining range and azimuth information onto the radar page, thereby the radar page providing a pilot of an aircraft with a three-dimensional perspective of the own aircraft and targets' profile.
A radar system for detecting and displaying at least one target comprising:
- a radar page comprising a virtual three-dimensional radar display, where in said virtual three-dimensional radar display comprises:
- a split window display showing a 2-dimensional view of altitude representation of own aircraft and target's information;
- and
- a secondary display within said split window display presenting a combined range and azimuth information onto the radar page,
- said the radar page providing a pilot of an aircraft with a three-dimensional perspective of the own aircraft and targets' profile.
