METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DISPLAYING TARGET ICONS CORRELATED TO TARGET DATA INTEGRITY

摘要

A method is provided for determining the integrity of incoming target data a nd for assigning and displaying a target icon correlated to the target data integrity. Target data integrity depends on the both accuracy and the timeliness of the position data being broadcast about the target. Target dat a integrity is monitored continuously to display a target icon correlated to t he current integrity level. Changes in the target icon alert the flight crew or other user to changes in target data integrity. The icon attributes used to communicate a change in integrity do not interfere with other icon attribute s used to communicate other characteristics of a target.
