Patent ID: 8687056

Claim:
An enhanced vision system for enabling a pilot of an aircraft to confirm flight instructions received from an aircraft control operator operating in an aircraft control station, the system comprising: a line-of-sight detector, for determining the line-of-sight of the pilot of said aircraft; a head mounted display (HMD) worn by said pilot, for displaying images and information to said pilot; an aircraft communication apparatus operable to transmit to said pilot flight instructions associated with an object of interest from said aircraft control operator, and to transmit to said aircraft control operator a confirmation of said flight instructions from said pilot; a processor, coupled with said HMD, said light-of-sight detector, and said aircraft communication apparatus, said processor operable to generate a visual representation of said flight instructions with said object of interest marked, respective of a combined spatial and symbolic image viewed by said pilot on said HMD in alignment with the determined line-of-sight; and a pilot communication interface, coupled with said processor, said pilot communication interface configured to receive said confirmation in which said pilot designates said marked object of interest on said combined spatial and symbolic image by verbal or tactile means, the designation being linked to said determined line-of-sight of said pilot, wherein the designation as linked to the determined line-of-sight of the pilot is transmitted to the aircraft control operator via the aircraft communication apparatus, such that if the designation is incorrect, the flight instructions are configured to be resent or communications are configured to be initiated with the pilot via the aircraft communication apparatus.
