MMR-Centric Multisensor Integration Architecture for Civil Aviation Applications

Ryan S.Y. Young and Kristen M. Jerome

Abstract:	Airspace capacities for some regions of the world are rapidly reaching their limits. To facilitate further growth, new requirements that demand better performance from navigation sensors are emerging. Since one navigation sensor alone cannot satisfy all requirements, there has been much interest in developing a flexible and modularized multisensor integration architecture that can exploit synergies among existing navigation sensors and, therefore, generate better and more accurate navigation solutions to meet emerging requirements and to improve air space efficiency. In this paper, we propose a Multi- Mode Receiver (MMR)-Centric multisensor integration architecture that can meet emerging requirements without modifying existing avionic interfaces. The MMR-Centric architecture enables aircraft system integrators to use existing avionics to meet their future navigational needs.
