Abstract
A method for heads-up control and interactive display of traffic targets via a heads-up display (HUD) includes: receiving position data from proximate aircraft (e.g., within a threshold range); arranging the aircraft into an ordered sequence based on proximity or other criteria; overlaying interactive symbology onto the HUD synthetic display corresponding to the proximate aircraft (including any aircraft within range but outside the HUD field of view, e.g., behind the aircraft or pilot); accepting control input from a user via a heads-up controller (e.g., manual control or voice command) and focusing a cursor on each proximate aircraft in sequence based on the control input; selecting, via the heads-up controller, focused aircraft via the heads-up controller; and designating, via the heads-up controller, selected aircraft for CDTI Assisted Visual Separation (CAVS) or other traffic applications.
