ABSTRACT:
An airborne processor is linked to a ground-based, vehicle based, or satellite-based supplier of approaching aircraft data and/or terrain data, including airfield structures. The processor also has access to the aircraft's state, e.g. position, speed, intended route, aircraft dimensional data, or the like. Algorithms within the processor calculate a zone of protection about the aircraft in light of aircraft type, turning radius, and other identifying data. The processor combines the present and estimated future positions of the aircraft with the approaching aircraft and/or airfield structure data, and creates an alert to the crew if a threat of a ground incursion is detected. The display provides a visual of the zone of protection about the aircraft, and approaching aircraft and/or airfield structure to draw the attention of the crew to the threat.
