  • All aircraft must be equipped with transceivers operating possibly on one dedicated frequency that transmit their call signs at very short intervals and receive and record the call signs or equivalent and GPS data of all other aircraft in the vicinity, against the clock.
  • the system may be tailored to operate in send mode with receive/record mode on standby to be triggered by incoming high frequency radio signals from aircraft within reciprocative signal proximity and possibly on board radar used in anti-collision applications. This would utilize recording capacity only when other aircraft signals are receivable, thereby optimizing recording.

Abstract

Airborne Interactive Reconnaissance (AIR) will use current communication technology with tailored software and switching methodology to communicate all necessary asset recovery data including time, GPS co-ordinates, altitude, call sign etc to operate interactively between Aircraft in flight, in conjunction with, but independent of existing satellite and ground tracking systems. The location of a mishap would then hopefully be recorded on the ancilliary data recorder module of any other aircraft that was in the vicinity at the time. All aircraft in the vicinity of a mishap would be aware of same when alerted. Critical data may be retrieved from any or all aircraft in the vicinity at the time. The data will be available on these aircraft (even without an alert) for the pre-programmed over-record cycle times, after they have landed.

Description

AIRBORNE INTERACTIVE RECONNAISSANCE
Description
Scope
To assist in the location of aircraft in the event of mishap.
Preamble
1) Aircraft enter flight corridors at specific gateways.
2) Flight corridors are relatively well defined in all directions.
3) Ground Radar fades beyond 250Km of Radar station.
4) Open water communication is by high frequency radio on a one to one basis between aircraft and ground stations (air traffic control).
5) Current tracking services are satellite derived (IMARSAT,etc) which are expensive to install, costly to operate and tedious in decoding.
Proposed Method
1) All aircraft have transponders that signal their location to the nearest ground station. This may not be possible over open water.
2) All commercial aircraft fly on designated corridors at cruising altitudes ranging on average from 29,000 to 35,000 ft.
3) Given the density of commercial flights, it should be safe to say that several aircraft will be in relatively close proximity to other aircraft in the air at any given time.
4) The technology to use GSM communications without interference to aircraft navigation and communications is now available and permitted. 5) The use of communication technology (viz locate a lost iPhone anywhere in the world in minutes!) maybe used between aircraft to log ID (call sign), time and GPS coordinates etc. on a hyper-intermittent interactive basis.
6) The record of every aircraft's whereabouts will be logged on the recorders of all other aircraft in the vicinity.
Necessary System Attributes
1 ) All aircraft must be equipped with transceivers operating possibly on one dedicated frequency that transmit their call signs at very short intervals and receive and record the call signs or equivalent and GPS data of all other aircraft in the vicinity, against the clock.
The system may be tailored to operate in send mode with receive/record mode on standby to be triggered by incoming high frequency radio signals from aircraft within reciprocative signal proximity and possibly on board radar used in anti-collision applications. This would utilize recording capacity only when other aircraft signals are receivable, thereby optimizing recording.
The whole system may well morph into an application derivative as simple as Google "Latitude" in the foreseeable future!
2) The duration for which such recordings should be held intact is a practical consideration to be decided viz: a) General alert to aircraft airborne in the vicinity of a suspected mishap. b) Recorder reset times for aircraft on the ground in the absence of an alert (Evidence of a mishap location last recorded). c) Auto over-recording in continuous time cycle capacity of 24 to 36 hours!?

Claims

The Claim
The combination of onboard transponders, transceivers operating possibly on one dedicated frequency and auxi l iary black box recordings on other aircraft in the vicinity should triangu late the location of a m issi ng aircraft more cost effectively and accurately than hithertofore.
