Abstract:
Systems and methods communicate sensor data pertaining to detected weather between aircraft. An exemplary system has at least one sensor on a transmitting aircraft, wherein the sensor is configured to detect weather and configured to output sensor data. The system has a first transceiver on the transmitting aircraft that is configured to transmit a signal with the sensor data. And the system has a second transceiver on a receiving aircraft that is configured to receive the signal containing the sensor data transmitted by the first transceiver. The sensor data of the transmitting aircraft is fused with sensor data of the receiving aircraft for a geographic region of interest to extend the effective sensor coverage and to resolve at least one of a location conflict and a severity conflict between the sensor data of the transmitting aircraft and the receiving aircraft.
