Abstract

A computerized method for transmitting data between a multi core vehicle management system and a vehicle system. The method can include receiving, at a vehicle management system computer, a vehicle system request message from a requesting vehicle management system component. The requesting vehicle management system component can be one of a plurality of vehicle management system components, and the vehicle system request message can have a destination vehicle system component. The method can include generating a sanitized vehicle system request message based on the requesting vehicle management system component and the destination vehicle system component. The sanitized vehicle system request message can be transmitted to said destination vehicle system component.

Claims

1. A computer system configured to transmit data between a dual core flight management system and an avionics system, said computer system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having stored therein software instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including;

receiving an avionics system request message from a requesting flight management system component, said requesting flight management system component being one of a plurality of flight system management components including a civil flight system management component and a tactical flight system management component, and said avionics request message having data indicating a destination avionics system component;

generating a sanitized avionics system request message based on said requesting flight management system component and said destination avionics system component;

transmitting said sanitized avionics system request message to said destination avionics system component;

receiving an avionics system response message from said destination avionics system component;

generating a sanitized avionics system response message based on said requesting flight management system component; and

transmitting said sanitized avionics system response message to said requesting flight management system component,

wherein generating a sanitized avionics system response message includes reducing the precision of geographic position data contained within said avionics system request message to an unclassified resolution and redacting classified data.

2. The computer system of claim 1, wherein said requesting flight management system component is classified and said destination avionics system component is unclassified.

3. The computer system of claim 1, wherein said requesting flight management system component is said civil flight management system component and said destination avionics system component is classified.

4. The computer system of claim 1, wherein said requesting flight management system component is said tactical flight management system component and said destination avionics system component is an unclassified transponder.

5. A computerized method for transmitting data between a multi core vehicle management system and a vehicle system, the method comprising:

receiving, at a vehicle management system computer, a vehicle system request message from a requesting vehicle management system component of a plurality of vehicle management system components, said vehicle system request message having a destination vehicle system component;

generating a sanitized vehicle system request message based on said requesting vehicle management system component and said destination vehicle system component; and

transmitting said sanitized vehicle system request message to said destination vehicle system component.

6. The method of claim 5, additionally comprising:

receiving a vehicle system response message from said destination vehicle system component;

generating a sanitized vehicle system response message based on said vehicle management component; and

transmitting said sanitized vehicle system response message to said vehicle management component.

7. The method of claim 5, wherein said plurality of vehicle management system components includes:

a civil vehicle management system component; and

a tactical vehicle management system component.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein said requesting vehicle management system component is unclassified, and wherein generating a sanitized vehicle system response message includes reducing the precision of geographic position data contained within said vehicle system request message to an unclassified resolution.

9. The method of claim 6, wherein said requesting vehicle management system component is an unclassified vehicle management component, and wherein generating a sanitized vehicle system response message includes redacting classified data contained within said vehicle system request message.

10. The method of claim 5, wherein said destination vehicle system component is unclassified, and wherein generating a sanitized vehicle system request message includes reducing the precision of geographic position data contained within said vehicle system request message to an unclassified resolution.

11. The method of claim 5, wherein said destination vehicle system component is unclassified, and wherein generating a sanitized vehicle system request message includes redacting classified data contained within said vehicle system request message.

12. A nontransitory computer readable medium having stored thereon software instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:

receiving a vehicle system request message from a requesting vehicle management system component, the requesting vehicle management system component being one of a plurality of vehicle management system components, said vehicle system request message having data indicating a destination vehicle system component;

generating a sanitized vehicle system request message based on said requesting vehicle management system component and said destination vehicle system component; and

transmitting said sanitized vehicle system request message to said destination vehicle system component.

13. The computer program product of claim 12, wherein said operations further comprise:

receiving a vehicle system response message from said destination vehicle system component;

generating a sanitized vehicle system response message based on said requesting vehicle management system component; and

transmitting said sanitized vehicle system response message to said requesting vehicle management system component.

14. The computer program product of claim 12, wherein said plurality of vehicle management system components includes:

a civil vehicle management system component; and

a tactical vehicle management system component.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein said requesting vehicle management system component is unclassified, and wherein generating a sanitized vehicle system response message includes reducing the precision of geographic position data contained within said vehicle system request message to an unclassified resolution.

16. The method of claim 13, wherein said requesting vehicle management system component is an unclassified vehicle management component, and wherein generating a sanitized vehicle system response message includes redacting classified data contained within said vehicle system request message.

17. The method of claim 12, wherein said destination vehicle system component is unclassified, and wherein generating a sanitized vehicle system request message includes reducing the precision of geographic position data contained within said vehicle system request message to an unclassified resolution.

18. The method of claim 12, wherein said destination vehicle system component is unclassified, and wherein generating a sanitized vehicle system request message includes redacting classified data contained within said vehicle system request message.

19. The method of claim 12, wherein said requesting vehicle management system component is a tactical vehicle management component, said destination vehicle system component is an unclassified transponder, and generating a sanitized vehicle system request message includes redacting classified data contained within said vehicle system request message.

20. The method of claim 12, wherein said requesting vehicle management system component is a tactical vehicle management component, said destination vehicle system component is an unclassified transponder, and generating a sanitized vehicle system request message includes reducing the precision of geographic position data contained within said vehicle system request message to an unclassified resolution.
