Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for identifying traffic to follow, TTF, on a display device. TTF, identification data identifying a vehicle to follow is received. Transmitted data is received from the vehicle to follow. Aircraft attribute data for the vehicle to follow is derived at least from the transmitted data and from target model data from a target model database. The aircraft attribute data includes position, orientation and aircraft dimensions. Enhanced vision system, EVS, imaging data is received from at least one EVS camera. An area of the EVS imaging data to be visually distinguished to highlight the traffic to follow is calculated. The area calculated is based on the aircraft attribute data including position, orientation and aircraft dimensions. Image processing is performed on the area of the EVS imaging data to visually distinguish the area so as to highlight the vehicle to follow, thereby providing highlighted EVS imaging data.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for identifying objects of interest during an air search and rescue (SAR) operation. The method comprises detecting an object of interest near a SAR pattern with a sensor onboard an aircraft. The location of the object of interest is input into a visual display system that is shown to an aircrew member. Distinct symbols are automatically added to categorize the object of interest on the visual display system. The distinct symbols are confirmed by the aircrew member accurately categorize the object of interest.
