Abstract: This disclosure is directed to methods, computer program products, and systems for providing surface vehicle tracking data, including indications of potential collision zones, to an airport map display system onboard an aircraft. In one example, a method includes identifying historical navigation route data, aerodrome guidance features, and a predicted path of a first vehicle. The method further includes determining predicted positions along the predicted path and determining predicted positions of a second vehicle and comparing vehicle envelopes for the two vehicles to determine a predicted collision zone of the vehicles.

Abstract: In some examples, a collision awareness system includes two cameras mounted on portions of a vehicle and processing circuitry configured to determine a position of an object based on an image captured by a first camera when the object is within a field of view of the first camera. The processing circuitry is further configured to determine the position of the object based on an image captured by a second camera when the object is within a field of view of the second camera. The processing circuitry is also configured to determine whether a distance between a future position of the vehicle and a current or future position of the object is less than a threshold level. In response to determine that the distance is less than the threshold level, the processing circuitry can generate an alert.

Abstract: In some examples, a radar system is configured to mount on an ownship vehicle for interleaving a weather detection mode and an object detection mode. The radar system comprises a phased-array radar device configured to receive weather signals in the weather detection mode, receive sensing signals in the object detection mode, and interleave the weather detection mode and the object detection mode. The radar system further comprises processing circuitry configured to determine weather conditions based on the received weather signals and detect an object based on the received sensing signals.

Abstract: In some examples, a collision awareness system for a vehicle includes a camera configured to mount on a protrusion of the vehicle and capture an image and a wireless transmitter configured to mount on the protrusion of the vehicle. The collision awareness system includes processing circuitry configured to mount on the protrusion of the vehicle, receive the image from the camera, and determine a distance between a point on the vehicle and an object based on the image. The processing circuitry is also configured to determine whether the distance between the point on the vehicle and the object is less than a threshold level. The processing circuitry is further configured to cause the wireless transmitter to transmit an alert to a receiver mounted on the vehicle in response to determining that the distance between the point on the vehicle and the object is less than the threshold level.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to methods, computer program products, and systems for providing airport surface vehicle tracking data, including indications of potential collision hazards, to an airport map display system onboard an aircraft. In one example, a method includes receiving data from one or more airport ground surface sensors configured to detect transient surface objects on an airport ground surface. The method further includes generating information about one or more transient surface objects on an airport ground surface based at least in part on the data from the one or more airport ground surface sensors. The method further includes outputting the information about the one or more transient surface objects to a wireless router for transmission over a wireless local area network.

Abstract: The present invention is a corpsman/medic medical assistant system that includes a portable transmit/receive pack, sensor leads for first and second physiological sensor subsystems and a corpsman/medic medical assistant control unit that includes a wireless transceiver. The portable transmit/receive pack has a sealed housing that includes the first and second physiological sensor subsystems, at least one processor running at least one algorithm, a wireless transceiver, and memory with a front panel that includes a display, at least one event key, a treatment button for recording treatment data, a timer, an observation button for recording observation data, and a plurality of physiological trend indicators. The algorithm determines a current physiological trend status of the patient based on the plurality of physiological measurements, and the transmit/receive pack links to the control unit by the wireless transceiver and receives the current physiological trend status of the patient.
