A data processing arrangement is operative to combine data representing different kinds of information from disparate sources. The data is stored under assigned addresses having a mutually compatible co-ordinate format, and is processed using those addresses. Relevant portions of data from a very large amount of information can be readily extracted in this way, and combined with other data which is related by virtue of a common address. The arrangement is applicable to flight management of an aircraft.

A data processing arrangement including: (a) means for holding data derived from disparate sources relating to positional information; (b) means for assigning addresses in a two-dimensional format to selected portions of said data from each source representing spatial fields having a common position

A data processing arrangement including: (a) means for holding data derived from disparate sources relating to positional information; (b) means for assigning addresses in a two-dimensional format to selected portions of said data from each source representing spatial fields having a common positional relationship and orientation; and (c) correlation means utilizing the co-ordinate addresses for combining and correlating data derived from the selected portions to generate a resultant combined output. A method of processing data derived from disparate sources relating to positional information, comprising the steps of: (a) assigning addresses in a mutually compatible format to selected portions of data from each source representing a common spatial field organized as aligned respective two-dimensional data planes, and (b) combining and correlating data having common locations in the different planes to generate a combined resultant output.
