Abstract

A system having components coupled to an aircraft and components remote from the aircraft processes radar-augmented data, transmits information between aircraft system components and/or remote system components, and dynamically determines locations and states of the aircraft, while the aircraft is in flight. Based on the locations and states of the aircraft, the system generates instructions for flight control of the aircraft toward a flight path appropriate to the locations of the aircraft, and can update flight control instructions as new data is received and processed.
