Operational progression

Each layer earns the next.

Each milestone extends the system's operational understanding, moving from runway interpretation toward surface logic, traffic awareness, and full controller behavior.

Origin

Development initiated in March 2026

Completed

Telemetry & Runway Dataset

Live simulator telemetry, runway references, threshold anchoring, and environmental alignment established the raw operational base.

Completed

Navigation Geometry Core

Bearing logic, haversine distance, cross-track computation, heading normalization, and deterministic runway-relative geometry.

Completed

RIS Landing Resolution Core

RIS (Runway Intelligence System), inside RISEngine, resolves touchdown, rollout, runway occupancy, and vacated-runway continuity through deterministic state interpretation.

Completed

Approach Corridor & Stability

Corridor adherence, directional consistency, threshold coherence, and stable approach interpretation before runway entry.

Surface Operational Expansion

Active development extends runway understanding into taxi, lineup, hold-short interpretation, and departure-state continuity.

Surface Intent

Taxi-state continuity, hold-short interpretation, lineup recognition, and runway entry logic.

Departure Semantics

Departure-roll identification and threshold-based takeoff state interpretation.

Runway Continuity

Persistent aircraft-state transitions without breaking runway ownership reliability.

Near-term

Traffic Intelligence

Once surface intent stabilizes, runway operations expand into traffic interaction and conflict anticipation.

Occupancy Anticipation

Predictive runway occupancy awareness before threshold conflict occurs.

Arrival Sequencing

Spacing logic between aircraft approaching the same runway environment.

Instruction Decision Engine

Priority resolution, runway authority, and state-derived clearances.

Long-term

Controller Layer

Higher-level ATC behavior emerges only after aircraft-state interpretation reaches full operational consistency.

Controller Logic

Procedural ATC decisions derived from deterministic aircraft-state understanding.

Phraseology

Voice interaction introduced after state reliability matures.

Multi-Aircraft Behavior

Coherent operational logic across simultaneous arrivals, departures, and surface movement.
