An airborne platform includes an avionics controller circuit. The avionics controller circuit is configured to receive an ownship orientation from a sensor configured to detect the ownship orientation. The avionics controller circuit is configured to determine an orientation parameter based on the ownship orientation. The avionics controller circuit is configured to compare the orientation parameter to an orientation threshold. The avionics controller circuit is configured to determine the ownship to be in a wake vortex condition based on at least one wake vortex criteria, the at least one wake vortex criteria including the orientation parameter being greater than the orientation threshold for more than a predetermined period of time.
