    摘要: A ground collision avoidance method in an ownship vehicle is disclosed. The method includes: retrieving position measurements for the ownship vehicle and for a dynamic obstacle; retrieving mapping data from an airport map database that includes coordinate data for airport travel pathways; adjusting a position measurement for the ownship vehicle and a position measurement for the dynamic obstacle based on coordinate data retrieved from the airport map database and historical aircraft movement data; predicting a series of future positions for the ownship vehicle that are constrained by airport surface operation rules; predicting a series of future positions for the dynamic obstacle that are constrained by airport surface operation rules; calculating whether a potential collision is imminent; and causing a collision alert to be displayed when the processor has determined that a potential collision between the ownship vehicle and the dynamic obstacle is imminent.

    摘要: Systems and Methods for Collaborative Vehicle Mission Operations are provided. In one embodiment, a method to facilitate collaborative vehicle mission operations comprises: inputting a deployment position and a selected mission category into a mission crew personal computing device; wirelessly communicating the deployment position and the selected mission category to a support vehicle, the support vehicle comprising a mission sensor and a mission computer; receiving the deployment position at a navigation system onboard the vehicle and navigating the vehicle to the deployment position; configuring the operation of the mission sensor and mission computer as defined by a predefined mission profile stored onboard the vehicle; preprocessing sensor measurements from the sensor to extract a subset of data defined as relevant to the mission category based on the predefined mission profile; and transmitting the subset of data defined as relevant to the selected mission category to the mission crew personal computing device.
