  • Publication number: 20230377468
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides embodiments that include storing an alert database defining a plurality of alert events for a vehicle where the plurality of alert events indicating deviations from a desired operation of the vehicle, detecting an alert event of one of the plurality of alert events by monitoring an output of a sensor in the vehicle, searching the alert database to identify a crew response for the alert event, identifying a current operational phase of the vehicle, contextualizing, based on the current operational phase, the alert event to assign an alert level to the alert event, and outputting, for display, the alert event.

  • Publication number: 20230373649
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides detecting an alert event in a vehicle by monitoring an output of a sensor in the vehicle, identifying a first operational phase of the vehicle that is operationally impacted by the alert event, identifying a current operational phase of the vehicle, and in response to determining that the first operational phase is a future operational phase relative to the current operational phase of the vehicle, assigning a lower alert level to the alert event, and outputting, for display in a graphical user interface (GUI), the alert event with the lower alert level.

  • Publication number: 20230373648
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes identifying a normal mission of a vehicle based on descriptions of capabilities of the vehicle in a plurality of operational phases where the normal mission is divided into the plurality of operational phases, identifying violations of the descriptions of the capabilities that cause the vehicle to deviate from the normal mission in at least one of the plurality of operational phases, identifying operational impacts on the vehicle caused by the violations, assigning alert levels to the operational impacts, populating an alert database that stores alert events corresponding to the violations and the alert levels assigned to the operational impacts; and generating software code to monitor sensor data during operation of the vehicle to identify the violations.

  • Publication number: 20220172629
    Abstract: A system for coordinating operations for a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles (“UAV”) is provided. The system generates a time-based sequence comprising one or more operations for each UAV, each operation including an execution window and a duration, identifies coincident time periods between first and second execution windows, and prepares a modified time-based sequence for each of the plurality of UAVs. The preparing includes setting at least one of a first preferred start time (“PST”) for a respective operation within the first execution window and a second PST for a respective operation within the second execution window based on at least the estimated duration of each respective operation and the coincident time periods. The setting is configured to minimize overlap between respective operations within the first and second execution windows. Modified time-based sequences for the plurality of UAVs are then provided to an operator.
