Boeing's Flight Trials Using the GPS Landing System of Dasa/Collins

Jochen Meyer-Hilberg

Abstract:	Daimler-Benz Aerospace (Dasa) and Rockwell Collins Avionics participated the GPS Landing Sys- tem (GLS) P ro g ramme of The Boeing Company us- ing their GPS Landing & Navigation Unit (GLNU) together with Dasa’s DGPS ground station. Ob- jectives of the GLS project have been, to verify, to which extend GPS-based systems can be used for navigation and landing. For fully coupled au- tolands, dual redundant GPS Landing Systems are used providing “ILS look-alike” signals. Flight tests were performed in July and August 1995 at Glas- gow, Montana, and Wallops Island, Virginia, us- ing a NASA-owned Boeing 757 aircraft. Flight test data evaluations of 218 autolands proved, that the Dasa/Collins concept is both efficient and reliable!
