Advanced Pseudolite for Dual-Use Precision Approach Applications

Chris Bartone

Abstract:	This paper deals with the integration of an airport/ship pseudolite (APL) into a local area augmented differential GPS (dGPS) based precision approach system. The first part of the paper will deal with the APL and the second with the airport data link (ADL) functions related to the APL and dGPS system. The paper will address the need for pseudolites in such architectures and present a common pseudolite system that may meet the requirements of the FAA Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS) as well as a DOD LAAS. A common system that can meet FAA and DOD precision approach requirements is a strong goal such that one landing system can be installed on civilian and military aircraft. The APL, and ADL are considered independent subsystems of a LAAS architecture.
