Abstract

A system determines a course of action for a vehicle. The system includes an altitude module, a threat detection module, a route module, and a threat avoidance module. The altitude module contains a list of types of threats. The list includes a predetermined threshold time for maximum safe visibility by the vehicle for each type. The threat detection module detects threats. The route module stores a planned route for the vehicle. The threat avoidance module determines types of threats detected by the threat detection module. The threat avoidance module utilizes the predetermined threshold times from the altitude module for each threat detected by the threat detection module to determine whether the planned route may safely enter visibility range of each threat detected by the threat detection module.
