To provide a flight management system for use in automatically generating a flight path trajectory for an aircraft.
The flight path trajectory includes a plurality of waypoints 28 and a plurality of vectors 30 extending between each waypoint of the plurality of waypoints. The flight management system including a processor is configured to calculate a first flight path trajectory 36 including an origin waypoint 40 and a destination waypoint 42, receive a tactical command indicating a change in flight trajectory, and calculate a second flight path trajectory 38 based at least in part on the tactical command. The calculated second flight path trajectory includes a departure waypoint along the first flight path trajectory, an intercept waypoint 48 along the first flight path trajectory, and a departure vector from the departure waypoint 46 to the intercept waypoint.
