1. A system for an aircraft, the system comprising:
one or more cameras disposed on an aft portion of a fuselage of the aircraft;
a heads-up display within a cockpit of the aircraft;
a heads-up control that receives image data from the one or more cameras; and
wherein the heads-up control is configured to determine whether an in-flight aerial object is approaching the aircraft from behind by processing the image data from the one or more cameras and to determine when the in-flight aerial object is within a predetermined range behind the aircraft and in response to the detection of the in-flight aerial object within the predetermined range, the heads-up control responsively generates an image on the heads-up display based on image data from the one or more cameras to provide a rearward view of an area behind the aircraft in which the aerial object is located.
