DGPS Multichannel Autoland System Performance

Uwe Wacker and Alex Both

Abstract:	Precision approach and landing is just one of many avionics areas where the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology is expected to have a significant impact. In the past few years, numerous demonstrations of GPS landing capabilities have taken place around the world with very promising results. But are these results indicative of how successful and easy GPS implementation will be? In other words, is GPS capable of providing an economic benefit to its users when considering the cost of certification of new airborne and ground based systems needed for its implementation? In this paper we take a limited look into the feasibility of GPS Landing Systems (GLS) based on preliminary test results acquired during the flight test phase of The Boeing/Industry GPS Autoland Program.
