Abstract: A present novel and non-trivial system, device, and method for generating object symbology are disclosed. A system may be comprised one or more aircraft systems and a cockpit display system comprised of a system configuration file, a plurality of definition files, and a windows generator (“WG”). The WG may be configured to perform initialization and run-time operations. The initialization operation may be comprised of retrieving a system configuration file; retrieving a first definition file comprised of a first layer; and retrieving one or more second definition files comprised of one or more second layers. The run-time operation may be comprised of receiving a first-layer widget data set; receiving one or more second-layer widget data sets; determining the screen position of each object located within a view frustum; and generating a pixel data set in response to the determination.

Abstract: A traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) for use in a first aircraft is disclosed. The TCAS includes TCAS circuitry providing output data as a function of a location of an intruder aircraft relative to a location of the first aircraft. A display device coupled to the TCAS circuitry receives the output data. The display device is adapted to provide a graphical representation of the altitude of the intruder aircraft.

Abstract: An FMS with the capability of automatically adjusting the view of the flight path as the flight progresses while maintaining a set viewing direction. The vertical dimension of the flight path display chosen to fill the display and provide increased readability.
