• Description:
  An integrated cockpit display suite, the T-NASA (Taxiway Navigation and
  
  Situation Awareness) system, is under development for NASA's Terminal Area
  
  Productivity (TAP) Low-Visibility Landing and Surface Operations (LVLASO)
  
  program. This system has three integrated components: Moving Map -- track-up
  
  airport surface display with own-ship, traffic and graphical route guidance;
  
  Scene-Linked Symbology -- route/taxi information virtually projected via a
  
  Head-up Display (HUD) onto the forward scene; and, 3-D Audio Ground Collision
  
  Avoidance Warning (GCAW) system -- spatially-localized auditory traffic alerts. In this paper, surface operations in low-visibility conditions, the design
  
  philosophy of the T-NASA system, and the T-NASA system display components are
  
  described.
