A system having components coupled to an aircraft that measure the navigational state and state uncertainty of an aircraft. To do so, the aircraft captures an image of its surrounding environment including an object of interest and applies one or more machine vision models to the image. One or more of the models determine if the image is acceptable, in that it determines if an object of interest is represented in the image. One or more of the models determine a calibrated uncertainty based on information extracted previously labelled images and current measurements of navigational state and uncertainty. One or more of the models determine a protection level for the aircraft and determines an operational system of the aircraft is available to perform a navigational action based on the protection level (e.g., by comparing protection level to an alert level).
