Filed:

Jun 27, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/823764

Inventors:

William Cotton - Lakeway TX, US
Neal Fine - North Kingstown RI, US

Assignee:

Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. - Mystic CT

International Classification:

G06F 19/00
G01W 1/00
G08B 21/00

US Classification:

340945000, 701120000, 07317800T

Abstract:

The disclosure is directed toward a method for safely managing aircraft separation. The method comprises a data integration host configured for: receiving aircraft information from a first aircraft; receiving weather data from a weather monitoring system; combining the aircraft information of the first aircraft with the weather data; formulating a position prediction of a wake vortex located within a critical safety volume of a runway; receiving from a sensor real time wake vortex data in a path of the first aircraft; comparing the real time wake vortex data to the position prediction to validate the position prediction and to formulate a determination of whether the wake vortex is present in the critical safety volume; and utilizing the determination to transmit spacing data to air traffic control, wherein the spacing data is at least one of standard wake vortex spacing and minimum radar spacing.

International Classification:

G21G 5/00
G21F 3/00

US Classification:

2504921

Abstract:

A method for generating visible light and a deceptive signature pattern for an emissions producing asset is disclosed. The method comprises illuminating at least one lighting assembly of the asset in a pattern. The pattern produces visible light synchronous with a signature of a wavelength in a substantially similar range as normal emissions of the asset. The method also comprises modulating a radiant intensity of the signature of the at least one lighting assembly between a minimum radiant intensity and a maximum radiant intensity in a repetitive cycle and operating a controller to regulate the pattern.

Assignee:

Flight Safety Technologies, Inc - Mystic CT

International Classification:

H01S 3/00

US Classification:

362553

Abstract:

The disclosure is directed toward a central laser source based passive countermeasure system for use on an emission producing asset comprising at least one centrally located source disposed on the emission producing asset. The centrally located source is configured to produce optical energy in at least one band of infrared radiation. At least one first fiber optic wire is coupled to the centrally located source to transmit the optical energy. At least one modulator is coupled to the centrally located source via the first fiber optic wire and is configured to modulate a flow of the optical energy. At least one output lens assembly is coupled to the modulator via a second fiber optic wire and is configured to receive the optical energy and emit the optical energy.
