SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING SITUATIONAL AWARENESS INFORMATION FOR A RELATIVE NAVIGATION SYSTEM

摘要

System and methods for providing situational awareness information to an aircrew of an aircraft including projecting into space, from a grid generator at the landing zone, a set of lines defining a relative navigation grid and encoded with grid data and configured to identify predetermined points on the relative navigation grid that provide situational awareness, detecting, with a detector module on the aircraft, a location of the aircraft within the grid and generating and displaying situational awareness information based on detected location.

1. A method of providing situational awareness information to aircrew of an aircraft during landing at a landing zone, the method comprising:
projecting into space, from a grid generator at the landing zone, a set of lines defining a relative navigation grid and encoded with grid data configured to identify predetermined points on the relative navigation grid; detecting, with a detector module on the aircraft, a location of the aircraft within the grid; generating situational awareness information, including at least one of guidance or deviation information to at least one waypoint for a landing approach, based on the detected location; and displaying, on a display of the aircraft, the generated situational awareness information.
