Systems and methods using multiple zones of detection as a function of accuracy

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention relate to avionics systems, and more particularly, to collision avoidance systems. In one embodiment, a system is delineated comprising a plurality of detection zones for a plurality of aircraft and means for issuing a report based on one or more of the plurality of detection zones.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
an avionics system configured to use a plurality of detection zones for a plurality of aircraft, wherein each detection zone is different and each is established based on a different accuracy level associated with a position report, wherein the plurality of detection zones are concentrically arranged around a runway; and a collision avoidance system configured to issue a report based on one or more of the plurality of detection zones.
