Patent number: 11313974Abstract: A system comprises processing circuitry configured to receive position data from a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver and to receive a first vehicle height above terrain (HAT) from HAT circuitry. A lateral position and an altitude are derived from the position data. The processing circuitry is further configured to determine terrain elevation based upon the lateral position. The processing circuitry is further configured to determine a second vehicle height above terrain (HAT) based upon subtracting the determined terrain elevation from the altitude. The processing circuitry is further configured to detect GNSS spoofing based upon a difference between the first vehicle HAT and the second vehicle HAT; and upon detecting GNSS spoofing, issue an alert.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2020Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: John D. Savoy, Jr., Harold Anthony Zulch, III, Gary Ostrom

Patent number: 9696878Abstract: A system comprises a physical display unit and an aircraft system component. The aircraft system component is configured to output a first signal for display according to a first display format. The system also includes an abstraction component configured to generate a virtual display page according to the first protocol based on the signal received from the aircraft system component and to map the virtual display page into two or more modified pages. Each of the modified pages is configured according to a second display format and corresponds to a respective portion of the virtual display page. The abstraction component is further configured to output a second signal comprising a first of the two or more modified pages to the physical display unit for display according to the second display format. The abstraction component is configured to output a signal comprising a second modified page based on user input.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2014Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Harold Anthony Zulch, III, Thomas D. Judd, Andrew Abeyta
