    摘要: A system including a radar receiver and a processor onboard an aircraft. The processor may be configured to: receive or generate weather radar data; identify an end user computing device to receive the weather radar data; determine whether the end user computing device has a high priority or low priority need for the weather radar data; reduce a size and/or an amount of the weather radar data to be a portion of the weather radar data; and upon a determination that the end user computing device has the low priority need for the weather radar data, route, via a datalink, the portion of the weather radar data having the reduced size and/or reduced amount of the weather radar data to the end user computing device.

    摘要: [Object] To appropriately evaluate reliability of a reception signal.
    [Solving Means] A signal processing unit 20 includes a first integration unit 21, a Doppler detection unit 22, and a comparator circuit 28 as a reliability index calculation unit. The first integration unit 21 intermittently integrates a pulse train corresponding to a reception signal by using two systems and obtains two pieces of integrated data. The Doppler detection unit 22 divides each of the two pieces of integrated data into a plurality of range bins in time series, obtains a relationship between a frequency and intensity in each range bin for each of the two pieces of integrated data, and detects a Doppler shift amount from the relationship. The comparator circuit 28 calculates a reliability index of the reception signal by comparing the Doppler shift amounts (wind velocity values) of the two pieces of integrated data.

    摘要: Predicting weather radar images by building a first machine learning model to generate first predictive radar images based upon input weather forecast data, and a second machine learning model to generate second predictive radar images based upon historical radar images and the first predictive radar images. Further by generating enhanced predictive radar images by providing the first machine learning model weather forecast data for a location and time and providing the second machine learning model with historical radar images for the location and an output of the first machine learning model.

    摘要: A system including a radar receiver, a computer readable medium, and a processor. A data structure containing historical information pertaining to weather conditions for multiple locations may reside in the medium. The processor may be configured to: obtain aircraft data including information of an aircraft position; obtain external data; obtain a portion of the historical information pertaining to a location corresponding to the aircraft position; obtain weather radar data; analyze the weather radar data to determine if windshear exceeds a windshear alert threshold; upon an occurrence of the windshear exceeding the windshear alert threshold, determine whether to issue or suppress a windshear alert based on the aircraft data, the external data, and/or the portion of the historical information; and one of a) output the windshear alert for presentation to a user or b) adjust the windshear alert threshold causing the windshear alert to be suppressed and/or suppress the windshear alert.

    摘要: This disclosure is directed to techniques for automated transmission of surveillance incident data or other anomalous incident data from an aircraft via a preferred transmission mode. An example method includes detecting, by a processing device onboard an aircraft, an anomalous incident involving the aircraft that qualifies for reporting relative to a set of anomalous incident reporting criteria. The method further includes identifying, by the processing device, data onboard the aircraft relevant to the anomalous incident. The method further includes detecting that the aircraft is in a status that makes available a selected data transmission mode for transmitting the data relevant to the anomalous incident. The method further includes communicating the data relevant to the anomalous incident to a transmission system for transmission from the aircraft via the selected data transmission mode in response to detecting that the aircraft is in the status that makes available the selected data transmission mode.
