Abstract
This disclosure relates to apparatuses, systems, and methods for controlling an aircraft. A computing system may identify a first command signal received via a flight control at a time point to control navigation of the aircraft through an environment. The computing system may attenuate the first command signal using a fade function over a time window relative to the time point to generate a second command signal. The computing system may input the second command signal to a model to generate predicted paths for the aircraft through the environment over the time window. The computing system may determine that at least one predicted path intersects with an obstacle in the environment during the time window. The computing system may generate a location to which to navigate the aircraft to avoid the obstacle. The computing system may perform an action to direct the aircraft to the location.
