Abstract: On-ground vehicle collision avoidance utilizing unmanned aerial vehicles are provided. In one embodiment, a vehicle collision avoidance method using a UAV comprises: receiving dispatch instructions at a hazard sensing UAV, the dispatch instructions comprising at least an assigned vehicle identification for an assigned vehicle to be escorted by the hazard sensing UAV; determining an escort rendezvous point and an escort destination point associated with the assigned vehicle and positioning the UAV at the escort rendezvous point; escorting the assigned vehicle with the UAV from the escort rendezvous point to the escort destination point; while escorting the assigned vehicle, scanning a planned path of travel for the assigned vehicle for hazards with at least one object detection sensor onboard the UAV and generating hazard data from information of newly detected hazards captured by the object detection sensor; and transmitting hazard data from the UAV to a hazard data aggregation system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for on-ground vehicle collision avoidance utilizing shared vehicle hazard sensor data are provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods for updating a terrain awareness and warning system (TAWS) database are disclosed. The systems request, by way of the first wireless communications device communicating by way of an avionics data transfer protocol, an update to the TAWS database, where the request is based upon flight path data, and receive and accept, by way of the first wireless communications device and by way of the avionics data transfer protocol and in response to the request, the update to the TAWS database.
