Abstract: A method for generating a route including at least one path. The method is suitable for aircraft reconnaissance of an area. The method includes encompassing the area with a geometrical figure, generating a first direction depending upon a configuration of the figure, generating the at least one path depending upon the first direction wherein the path corresponds to a sub area covering at least a part of the area.

Abstract: A method of forming a safe termination operation volume, and an aircraft provided with a system using such a volume to plan a flight route and/or an emergency route. The volume indicates the lowest allowable flight altitude to achieve a glide path of a vehicle to a termination point of an area of interest, wherein non allowable fly zones are taken into consideration by adding flight altitude to come around the non allowable fly zones when calculating the lowest allowable flight altitude.

Abstract: A method for planning the velocity of a craft along a predetermined route, where said method comprises the step of transforming demands and limitations of said route and said craft into a time-distance domain. Said planning subsequently takes place in said domain. The method saves computational time.

Abstract: An avionics system including a radar system being capable of automatically tracking a radar target, an optical image producing system, a radar monitor, an optical image monitor, a decision support unit having a connection to the radar system and to the optical image producing system, and an input/output unit for entering one or more decision parameters. The decision support unit is connected to the input/output unit. During a flight mission the decision support unit receives one or more automatic radar tracking parameters from the radar system, uses the decision parameters on the radar tracking parameters to decide upon which radar target(s) to be subjected to observation by the optical image producing system.

Abstract: A method for generating a route comprising at least one path (R1-RT) is disclosed, wherein the method is suitable for aircraft reconnaissance of a area (A1). The method comprises the steps of: encompassing the area (A1) with a geometrical figure (F); generating a first direction (P) depending upon a configuration of said figure (F); generating said at least one path (R1-RT) depending upon said first direction (P), wherein said path (R1-RT) corresponds to a sub area (sa1-saT) covering at least a part of said area (A1).
