Abstract:
There is provided systems and methods for pilot alertness and awareness of target aircraft and target obstacle that are flying within a proceeding flight path collision. Transmitted guiding sound signals consisting of three dimensional effects and tonal sounds are generated by a flight unit, and sent to the pilot's headset for the desired purpose of directing the pilot's head position to locate the target aircraft and target obstacle. The flight unit processes time of collision from received target aircraft broadcast, and contain at least GPS data and target obstacle information from stored navigational maps. The flight unit further receives the pilot's head position through means of a head tracker. Furthermore, the flight unit is able to perform the functions of, storing piloted flight information, voice language instruction, flight assisted notification, and communicating with one or multiple mobile devices such for the information to be displayed visually, and is upgradable remotely. There may also be provided configurable alerts for target aircraft and target obstacles.

Claim (Index 8):
An aircraft piloted by a pilot comprising:\n a control system of the aircraft for configuring alerts for the aircraft, the control system comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium, and the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions for:\n receiving an indication of a target, the indication including a range from the aircraft to the target, a rate of closure of the target to the aircraft, and an estimated time to collision between the aircraft and the target; \n receiving a sensitivity control setting, the sensitivity control including a threshold time to collision and a threshold range to the target; \n determining, by the control system of the aircraft, an alert condition based on a comparison of the indication of the target with the sensitivity control setting; \n receiving a direction of the pilot's gaze; \n playing an audio announcement via a headset of the pilot announcing the target and a direction of the target; \n playing a doppler effect tone via the headset comprising a series of tones played at a rate determined by the rate of closure between the aircraft and the target; and \n playing a lock on tone via the headset, wherein the lock on tone is modulated by the relative difference between the direction of the pilot's gaze and the direction of the target aircraft, \n wherein the audio announcement, the doppler effect tone, and the lock on tone are played using a three-dimensional audio effect to simulate the audio announcement, the doppler effect tone, and the lock on tone coming from the direction of the target aircraft relative to the direction of the pilot's gaze.
