Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassG08B 021/00AbstractA virtual image display system for aircraft is operative to identify threat systems that are proximal the flight path of an aircraft when the aircraft is within the threat range of such threat systems. The virtual image display system is further operative to generate three-dimensional threat envelopes of identified threat systems and to display real-time perspective video images of such three-dimensional threat envelopes for viewing by the pilot.Field of SearchAIRCRAFT ALARM OR INDICATING SYSTEMSPotential collision with other aircraft VEHICLE POSITION INDICATION Indicator of at least four flight parameters (altitude, speed, etc.) Indicator visible in pilot's line of sight through windscreen Aircraft guidance With map matching With terrain avoidance or alarm RELATIVE LOCATION Collision avoidance Course to intercept Employing position determining equipment | |
