Patent number: 10577084Abstract: A flight management system (FMS) including a plurality of FMS components that can include a civil FMS component and a tactical FMS component. Each FMS component can have a processor programmed to execute an FMS software product. The FMS can also include a multi core FMS manager configured to control a plurality of flight management systems and coupled to the plurality of FMS components. The multi core FMS manager can include a plurality of FMS managers, each coupled to one of the FMS components, and a platform interface manager coupled to an avionics system. Each FMS manager can be adapted to transmit flight management data to, and to receive flight management data from, the FMS component to which it is coupled. The platform interface manager can be adapted to provide each FMS component access to the avionics system, such that an aircraft operator can control each FMS component via the FMS.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2017Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATIONInventors: Lester J. Pangilinan, John Olsen

Patent number: 8825230Abstract: A computerized method for providing a unified user interface to a plurality of flight management components encapsulated within a flight management system. The method can include receiving a flight management system input dataset from a first flight management system user interface device. The method can also include creating, with a processor programmed to provide a unified user interface, a plurality of flight management system input data portions to be transmitted to a plurality of destination flight management system components. The plurality of flight management system input data portions can be based on the flight management system input dataset and each flight management system input data portion can correspond to one of said plurality of destination flight management system components. Each of said plurality of flight management system input data portions can be transmitted from the processor to said corresponding destination flight management system component.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2013Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Lester J. Pangilinan, John Olsen

Patent number: 8634973Abstract: A computerized method for transmitting data between a multi core vehicle management system and a vehicle system. The method can include receiving, at a vehicle management system computer, a vehicle system request message from a requesting vehicle management system component. The requesting vehicle management system component can be one of a plurality of vehicle management system components, and the vehicle system request message can have a destination vehicle system component. The method can include generating a sanitized vehicle system request message based on the requesting vehicle management system component and the destination vehicle system component. The sanitized vehicle system request message can be transmitted to said destination vehicle system component.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2011Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Lester J. Pangilinan, John Olsen
