1. A system comprising:
- one or more articles of manufacture includingcircuitry for obtaining an indication of a first time interval from when a device-detectable energy signature path existed between a first entity and a second entity until a reference time; and
circuitry for signaling a decision whether or not to change an aerial navigation protocol of the first entity as an automatic and conditional response to a result of comparing a threshold against the indication of the first time interval from when the device-detectable energy signature path existed between the first entity and the second entity until the reference time.

obtaining an indication of a first time interval from when a device-detectable energy signature path existed between a first entity and a second entity until a reference time; and invoking circuitry configured for signaling a decision whether or not to change an aerial navigation protocol of the first entity as an automatic and conditional response to a result of comparing a threshold against the indication of the first time interval from when the device-detectable energy signature path existed between the first entity and the second entity until the reference time. - View Dependent Claims (62)

63. An article of manufacture comprising:
-
one or more physical media configured to bear a device-detectable implementation of a method including at least obtaining an indication of a first time interval from when a device-detectable energy signature path existed between a first entity and a second entity until a reference time; and signaling a decision whether or not to change an aerial navigation protocol of the first entity as an automatic and conditional response to a result of comparing a threshold against the indication of the first time interval from when the device-detectable energy signature path existed between the first entity and the second entity until the reference time. - View Dependent Claims (64)
