International Classification:

G01S 702

US Classification:

342185, 342175, 342176, 342181, 342195

Abstract:

A radar display system ( ) according to the present invention generates textured radar display data by utilizing a direct memory access receiver ( ) to receive radially scanned radar data, to convert the radially scanned radar data into range bin data sets, and to store the range bin data sets. A graphics renderer ( ) stores the set of range bin data sets in a texture memory ( ) as a plurality of rectangular textures, and bit maps the rectangular textures to a series of display triangles in a frame buffer ( ). The graphics renderer ( ) colors the display triangles in accordance with the rectangular textures by performing a bi-linear interpolation of the color and warps the display triangles in accordance with the size of a display ( ).

Assignee:

HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC. - Morris Plains NJ

International Classification:

G08G 5/00

Abstract:

Methods and systems are provided for recovering flight plan data for a bypassed segment of a flight plan aircraft. The method comprises loading an initial flight plan onto a Flight Management System (FMS) that is located on board the aircraft. The active flight plan includes multiple waypoints located along the active flight plan. A modified flight plan is created and executed that bypasses at least one of the waypoints located along the initial flight plan. The bypassed flight data is stored in the memory of the FMS. A restored flight plan is created later by retrieving the bypassed flight data from the FMS memory and loaded onto the FMS. The restored flight plan is then executed by the FMS.

International Classification:

G06F 3/0484
B64D 43/00

Abstract:

Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for managing vehicle guidance using a GUI. One method may include: obtaining flight management system (FMS) data; updating an aircraft configuration state based on the FMS data; obtaining a current mode, active command, and a second command for a guidance panel based on the configuration state; and generating a guidance panel GUI based on the current mode, the active command, and the second command. Another method may include: obtaining vehicle data; updating a vehicle configuration state based on the vehicle data if the vehicle data has updated information; obtaining a current mode, active command, and a second command for a guidance panel of the vehicle based on the vehicle configuration state; generating a guidance panel GUI based on the current mode, the active command, and the second command; and displaying the guidance panel GUI on the guidance panel.
