Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: receiving, in a computer-based airspace monitoring service center system, airspace information from a plurality of different sources via a plurality of different communication networks; receiving, in the computer-based airspace monitoring service center system, a transmission from a first aircraft, wherein the transmission includes data defining at least one first flightpath parameter from the first aircraft, wherein the at least one first flightpath parameter comprises at least one of a three dimensional position parameter, a flight trajectory parameter, or a speed parameter; establishing, in the computer-based airspace monitoring service center system, a first defined airspace in a region proximate the first aircraft; processing, in the computer-based airspace monitoring service center system, the airspace information for the first defined airspace based on the at least one first flightpath parameter received from the first aircraft to define a first data set of airspace information relevant to the first aircraft, wherein the first data set of airspace information includes a location of a second aircraft; and transmitting the first data set of airspace information from the computer-based airspace monitoring service center system to the first aircraft, wherein the computer-based airspace monitoring service center system is remote from the first aircraft.
