1. A vehicle trajectory visualization system comprising:
- a communication component configured to receive orientation, position, and velocity information from a vehicle;
a display device; and
a processor in signal communication with a memory, the communication component, and the display device, the processor configured to generate vehicle trajectory icons based on the received vehicle orientation, position, and velocity information and waypoint icons based on previously defined waypoint information and to calculate a vehicle trajectory based at least on dynamics information associated with the vehicle and environmental conditions of the vehicle;
wherein the-display device displays the calculated vehicle trajectory and the generated icons in a 3D environment based on a predefined viewpoint, wherein the vehicle trajectory icons include one or more nodes and trajectory lines connected to the nodes and the waypoint icons include one or more waypoint nodes with lines that link the waypoint nodes.

Abstract
A vehicle trajectory visualization system capable of displaying real-time (or recorded) vehicle orientation, position, velocity, and waypoint data using a 3D rendering system. The aforementioned data is transmitted from the vehicle to a base station that processes and manipulates the data prior to 3D rendering and insertion into a database. Due to the storing of the vehicle trajectory data, playback of past trajectories is possible, enabling enhanced visual After-Action Review. This system provides instant visual inspection of any virtual or real vehicle'"'"'s planned trajectory and waypoints versus actual traveled trajectory.
