Obstacle avoidance situation display generator
First Claim
1. A display generator comprising:
- an air collision data component configured to receive air collision avoidance data;
a ground collision data component configured to receive ground collision avoidance data, wherein at least one of the air collision data component or the ground collision data component is configured to receive a proposed flight path calculated to avoid a predicted air collision or a predicted ground collision that, if followed, would cause a separate collision;
a navigation data component configured to receive navigation data; and
a processor configured to receive a control signal indicating what information to present on a display and generate image video data based on the air collision avoidance data, the ground collision avoidance data, the navigation data, and the control signal, wherein the image video data includes symbology representing an induced collision situation based on the proposed flight path, wherein the processor is further configured to present the image video data on the display.

Abstract
A display generator for providing obstacle avoidance guidance to a pilot is described. The display generator receives data from an obstacle avoidance dispatcher and resolver module, a hybrid ground collision avoidance module, a hybrid air collision avoidance module, a display control panel, and a navigation management module. The display generator generates obstacle avoidance display image video data, which includes symbology that represents a location of one of a predicted ground collision, a predicted air collision, and an induced collision. The display generator provides the obstacle avoidance display image video data to an image rendering device, which a pilot can use to avoid both air and ground obstacles.
