Abstract: A system is delineated comprising a processor, a transceiver coupled to the processor, and memory including instructions for execution by the processor to send with the transceiver meteorological data, 4-D position data, velocity data, and time and configuration data to a provided ATC ground station.

Abstract: Various navigation and other instrumentation systems may benefit from appropriate methods for display of traffic. For example, certain avionics systems may benefit from systems and methods for providing an ADS-B In display and control system. A system can include a traffic computer, such as a Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) computer. The system can also include a TCAS traffic display, the traffic computer is configured to display Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) In information on the TCAS traffic display. Optionally, the system can further include a graphical ADS-B In Guidance Display (AGD) operationally connected to the traffic computer. The system can additionally include a Multi-Purpose Control Display Unit (MCDU) operationally connected to the traffic computer. The TCAS traffic display and MCDU, and optionally the graphical AGD, can be configured to substitute for a Cockpit Display of Traffic Information (CDTI).

Abstract: Systems and methods are delineated in which dynamic thresholds may be employed to detect and provide alerts for potential conflicts between a vehicle and another vehicle, an object or a person in an aircraft environment. Current systems for airport conflict detection and alerting consider one or more alerting boundaries which are independent of the amount of traffic present at any one time or over the course of time. Because nuisance alerts rates depend to a large extent on the amount of traffic, and because alert detection thresholds are often set based on a desire to limit nuisance alerts to a specific threshold, adapting those thresholds based on, among other things, the amount of traffic can result in earlier alerting in some crash scenarios and can even result in providing an alert in a crash scenario where no alert would have otherwise been generated.

Abstract: A system is delineated comprising a display and a receiver coupled to the display for receiving data for presenting on the display, the data representing spoken VHF messages.

Abstract: In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a medium stores instructions that, when executed by a provided processor, cause the processor to perform a method. The method includes: (a) receiving a reported position for an aircraft; (b) determining, based on the reported position for the aircraft, a minimum position and a maximum position for the aircraft along a first axis; (c) determining, based on the reported position for the aircraft, a minimum position and a maximum position for the aircraft along a second axis, the second axis perpendicular to the first axis; (d) receiving reported speed information for the aircraft; (e) determining a minimum possible speed and a maximum possible speed for the aircraft along the first axis; (f) determining a minimum possible speed and a maximum possible speed for the aircraft along the second axis; and (g) providing an alert if the reported speed information exceeds the minimum or maximum speeds along either the first axis or the second axis.
