Systems and methods for navigating an aerial vehicle are provided. One example aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a method for navigating an aircraft. The method includes receiving, by one or more processors, one or more first geographic coordinates via an interface configured to receive geographic coordinates from a satellite transmission. The method includes receiving, by the one or more processors, one or more second geographic coordinates via an interface configured to receive geographic coordinates from a ground transmission. The method includes determining, by the one or more processors, that the one or more first geographic coordinates and the one or more second geographic coordinates are inconsistent. The method includes updating, by the one or more processors, a flight plan using the one or more second geographic coordinates when the one or more first geographic coordinates are inconsistent with the one or more second geographic coordinates.

Ground-based data acquisition system

System and method for reception and inconsistency management of coordinates

A data recorder for permanently storing pre-event data may include a read-write memory with a plurality of bit cells in the read-write memory. Each bit cell may have a bit state of a high value or a low value. A fusible structure in the data recorder may include a morphable element associated with each bit cell. A temperature-triggered module may thermally couple to the ambient environment and may electrically couple to each morphable element. The temperature-triggered module may be further configured to determine if a parameter of the ambient environment exceeds a predetermined threshold, and if so may then transmit a burn signal to the fusible structure so that each morphable element permanently secures the bit state for each bit cell.

Data recorder for permanently storing pre-event data

A method of providing high integrity communication in a high integrity processing system having at least two redundant application processors in a non-lockstep configuration where the redundant application processors are running the same application and where the redundant application processors are connected to at least one input/output processor by a communication channel.
