Abstract
Aircraft survivability system state management is based on system mode, time, altitude, aircraft position, reference radius, and manual aircraft survivability equipment configuration select. The system mode is used with a segment number to begin system configuration sequencing of a segment pointer. A mission aircraft survivability system configuration plan comprises a number of segments of a mission plan. Each segment contains information such as the time, altitude and position for each segment. The segment is displayed in an active configuration and a next configuration on an aircraft survivability equipment display. When the aircraft enters a detection window the segment pointer is updated by an aircraft survivability system mode control processor. The system may be placed in either automatic mode or manual mode.
