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.
