Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An aircraft cargo handling system (100) with augmented weight sensing capability is disclosed. In embodiments, the aircraft cargo handling system (100) includes a loadmaster control station (200) including a controller (204) with a user interface (202) communicatively coupled to the controller (204). The user interface (202) is configured to receive user-input weight data for one or more cargo units (102). The aircraft cargo handling system (200) further includes one or more sensors (104) configured to detect weight data for the cargo units (102) or one or more carriers for the cargo units (102). The sensors (104) may be coupled to respective transmitters (106) that are configured to transmit the detected weight data to a data gateway device (206) that is communicatively coupled to the controller (204). The controller (204) is configured to compare the user-input weight data to the detected weight data and generate an alert when the difference between the user-input weight data and the detected weight data is greater than a threshold weight difference.
