Abstract: A system may include a display and a processor installed in an aircraft. The processor may be configured to: obtain air traffic data; generate a display image based at least on the air traffic data; and output the display image. The display may display the display image to a user. The display image may convey a range dimension and a horizontal dimension. The display image may depict at least one air traffic indicator. Each of the at least one air traffic indicator may be positioned respective to a corresponding range and horizontal location relative to the aircraft. Each of the at least one air traffic indicator may indicate at least one of: an amount of a vertical distance of air traffic above the aircraft, an amount of a vertical distance of air traffic below the aircraft, or that air traffic has an approximately equal altitude as the aircraft.

Abstract: A system may include at least one display and at least one processor installed in an aircraft. The at least one processor may be communicatively coupled to the at least one display. The at least one processor may be configured to: obtain aircraft data associated with the aircraft; obtain an azimuth value associated with an azimuth; obtain radar data associated with at least one threat; generate a three-dimensional threat image based at least on the aircraft data, the azimuth value, and the radar data; and output the three-dimensional threat image as graphical data. The at least one display may be configured to display the three-dimensional threat image to a user. The three-dimensional threat image may depict a three-dimensional relationship between the aircraft and the at least one threat. The three-dimensional threat image may convey a range dimension, a lateral dimension extended perpendicularly from the azimuth, and a height dimension.

Abstract: A system may include at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to: obtain air traffic data associated with at least one air traffic target; based at least on the air traffic data, determine at least one estimated wake turbulence trail for each of the at least one air traffic target; and at least one of: (a) generate at least one display image based at least on the at least one estimated wake turbulence trail and output the at least one display image to at least one display for presentation to a user, each of the at least one display image including at least one wake turbulence trail indicator, the at least one wake turbulence trail indicator generated based at least on the at least one estimated wake turbulence trail; or (b) operate the aircraft to avoid the at least one estimated wake turbulence trail.

Abstract: A radio altimeter includes an electronically scanned array antenna. Orthogonal sweeps by the electronically scanned array antenna are used to identify a highest point in a region beneath the aircraft without the need for strong reflection. The electronically scanned array antenna may be reconfigured to scan a subregion including the highest point with a higher frequency beam and/or integrate multiple sweeps over time for a more accurate measurement.

Abstract: A system and method for correlating hazard data includes defining flight corridors according to hazard thresholds based on criticality weightings derived from multiple sources, and incorporating multiple hazard types. The flight corridors are render in a visually distinct way according to the corresponding hazard threshold. An autonomous aircraft determines an executable flight path within a flight corridor having a maximum allowable hazard threshold.
