Method and arrangement for data fusion

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method suitable for, within a platform, merging data from different sensors of different platforms, comprising the steps of: generating a first information entity; receiving a second information entity; processing the first and second information entities. The invention is characterized by the steps of analysing said processed first and second information entities; and performing an action event in response to the analysis.

Aircraft collision avoidance calculation method and system

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of calculating a trajectory for an escape maneuver of an airborne vehicle from a determined starting point. The method comprises the steps of determining position, velocity and acceleration data for the starting point and from said data determining the escape maneuver. The method is characterized in that the escape maneuver trajectory is modeled as one or more analytic curves in three dimensions following after each other. The invention further relates to an air collision avoidance system and a ground collision avoidance system comprising said method for calculating escape maneuvers.

The applicability of human-centred automation guidelines in the fighter aircraft domain

Abstract: Motivation -- To guide the development of human-centred automation within the fighter aircraft domain.Research approach -- Identified human-centred automation guidelines have been analysed in relation to existing fighter aircraft automated functions together with system developers at Saab Aeronautics.Findings/Design -- The results show that the human-centred automation guidelines have been considered during the development process. From these results, implications for the design of guidelines and for the design of automated systems in the aircraft domain are drawn.Research limitations/Implications -- Deeper analysis of how automated functions can support pilots in future fighter aircraft is needed since the proposed guidelines are too general for the military fighter aircraft domain. Thus, future work involves an evaluation of the guidelines together with fighter aircraft system developers and/or military strategists. Such analysis must be carried out with specific automated functions in mind.Originality/Value -- By comparing with existing automated functions, the research makes contributions to HCA guidelines to be used in the fighter aircraft domain. Suggestions of human-centred automation improvements within the fighter aircraft domain are presented. The analysis has also identified differences between the proposed guidelines and parts of the studied implementation examples.Take away message -- The HCA guidelines must be adapted according to the specific tasks that the automated functions are intended to assist the operators with. To adapt the automation according to the level of experience of the operators as well as to expand the cooperative automation functions between aircraft in a team have been identified as future directions for automation improvements within the fighter aircraft domain.
