Systems and methods for displaying obstacle-avoidance information during surface operations

A system comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• receive sensor information from one or more sensors mounted in at least one of a wingtip light module, fuselage, engine cowling, landing gear or tail component of an aircraft, wherein each of the one or more sensors has a field of view that is selected based on a stopping distance range of the aircraft,
• determine a braking distance for the aircraft based on a weight and a current speed of the aircraft,
• determine a trajectory of at least one aircraft element based on a location of the at least one aircraft element, the current speed of the aircraft, and a heading of the aircraft,
• detect at least one obstacle based on the received sensor information and the determined aircraft braking distance, and
• generate an image comprising:
• an ownship icon comprising at least one feature representing the at least one wingtip light module, fuselage, engine cowling, landing gear, or tail component of the aircraft,
• a first vector generated based on the determined trajectory of an associated aircraft element,
• a second vector generated based on the determined trajectory of an associated aircraft element, wherein the first vector and the second vector are based on at least one of a distance value or a time value, and
• at least one indicator associated with the detected at least one obstacle;
• and
• a display device configured to present the generated image.
