METHOD TO OBTAIN A RECOGNIZED AIR PICTURE OF AN OBSERVATION SPACE SURROUNDING AN AUTOMATED AERIAL VEHICLE

摘要

A method to obtain a recognized air picture of an observation space surrounding an automated aerial vehicle comprises the steps of receiving first signals of first cooperative systems of aerial vehicles within the observation space using a first receiver (111) on board the automated aerial vehicle and receiving second signals of second cooperative systems of aerial vehicles within the observation space using a second receiver (112) on board the automated aerial vehicle. The first receiver (111) and the second receiver (112) are adapted to receive signals according to different protocols. The first signals and the second signals are processed using a processor (140) on board the automated aerial vehicle to obtain tracking information with respect to the aerial vehicles within the observation space.
