ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for monitoring the position of objects in a space including a target supervisor, a location supervisor, and a hazard monitoring supervisor. The apparatus can detect and respond to a potential wake-vortex hazard condition. The tracking supervisor receives target data from a sensor, characterizes and tracks selected objects, and provides target outputs having features respective of the selected objects. The location supervisor characterizes and displays features in the space, and provides a location output having the aforementioned features. The hazard monitoring supervisor detects and responds to potential hazard conditions, and provides a notice of such conditions, responsive to the target outputs and the location output. A data logger selectively retains the target outputs, the location output, or both. The position monitoring apparatus has six modes: full operation, non-airport-surveillance-radar, isolation, set-up, adaptation, and simulation. The target supervisor receives data from an airborne surveillance radar, a secondary surveillance radar, a global-positioning-system-based sensor, a ground-based sensor, or an auxiliary sensor.
