Patent number: 11854417Abstract: A method and a system are provided herein for calculating whether or not a specific aerial vehicle at a specified point of time can maneuver over a given location in the terrain while complying with terrain clearance requirements. The system may include a computer memory configured to store a 3D model representing at least a portion of a terrain located in a vicinity of an aerial vehicle; a computer processor configured to map said portion of the terrain into at least two types: a first type indicative of a potential of the aerial vehicle to maneuver over a respective terrain while complying with terrain clearance, and a second type indicative of a non-potential of said aerial vehicle to maneuver over a respective terrain, wherein the mapping is carried out based on said parameters, the 3D model and given predefined performance of the aerial vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2020Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: ELBIT SYSTEMS LTD.Inventors: Sharon Hiddai, Judith Zelicovici, Jacob Avinu, Eyal Ziv, Yana Zohar, Yonathan Mizrahi
