    摘要: An ADS-B collision avoidance method and system are provided for aircraft having a speed profile that includes supersonic speeds. ADS-B messages are transmitted from an aircraft at a transmission rate and power predicated on the aircraft's speed. A trained neural network predicts a time-based trajectory of the aircraft using the position, altitude, and velocity of the aircraft when it is flying supersonic. Time-based zone boundaries are generated using the time-based trajectory. Each time-based zone boundary is disposed about the aircraft flying supersonic. Each time-based zone boundary is indicative of an amount of time for the aircraft to travel thereto along the time-based trajectory. Each time an aerial vehicle crosses one of the time-based zone boundaries when the aircraft is flying supersonic, at least one of an indication of the presence of the aerial vehicle, an indication of a potential collision, and a maneuver to avoid the potential collision are generated.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for radar-based object discovery and airspace data collection and management. In some examples, a data service system deploys radars across geographic areas based on a respective radar detection range of the radars and a coverage parameter for the geographic areas, wherein each of the radars is configured to detect object parameters within the respective radar detection range. The data service system collects the object parameters from the radars, determines weather conditions and/or airspace regulations associated with the geographic areas, and models airspace conditions for the geographic areas based on the object parameters and the weather conditions and/or airspace regulations.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for in-air traffic tracking onboard an ownship. The system includes a display device, a sensor system configured to sense a sensed three-dimensional (3D) position of a target aircraft, a communication system configured to receive in-air traffic position data from an external source that includes a tracked 3D position of the target aircraft, and an in-air traffic tracking system that includes a controller configured to, by a processor: determine a predicted 3D position of the target aircraft by adjusting the tracked 3D position with compensation parameters, wherein the compensation parameters are determined based on a trained machine learning, determine a real-time 3D position of the target aircraft based on the sensed 3D position and/or the predicted 3D position, and render a tracking icon on the display device that indicates the real-time 3D position of the target aircraft.

    摘要: An example method for determining space availability in an aircraft includes receiving outputs from a plurality of laser sensors positioned in a baggage container at a first wall and a second wall, and the first wall and the second wall face each other. The plurality of laser sensors emit signals within the baggage container and detect reflected responses to generate the outputs. The example method also includes receiving images from a camera positioned on a third wall of the baggage container, wherein the third wall differs from the first wall and the second wall, mapping contents of the baggage container based on the outputs from the plurality of laser sensors, based on said mapping, outputting data indicative of occupied space in the baggage container, and associating the images from the camera with the contents of the baggage container.

    摘要: Systems and methods provide for the evaluation of flight controls for an aerial vehicle and define a vehicle dynamics model corresponding to an aerial vehicle. One or more barrier functions are constructed based on the defined vehicle dynamics model, and candidate invariant sets are identified for the defined vehicle dynamics model using the one or more barrier functions. A plurality of flight controls of the aerial vehicle are analyzed using the identified candidate invariant sets and within the analyzed candidate invariant sets, command tracking of the aerial vehicle is confirmed with control commands, using the analyzed plurality of flight controls. Control commands falling outside of the analyzed candidate invariant sets are identified.
