LAAS Position Domain Monitor Analysis and Test Results for CAT II/III Operations
نویسنده
چکیده
The Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS) is a differential GPS navigation system being developed to support aircraft precision approach and landing with guaranteed accuracy, integrity, continuity and availability. While the system promises to support Category I operations, significant technical challenges are encountered in supporting Category II and III operations. The primary concern has been the need to guarantee contentment with stringent requirements for navigation availability. This paper describes how Position Domain Monitoring (PDM) may be used to improve system availability by reducing the inflation factor for standard deviations of pseudorange correction errors. The role of PDM in mitigating the continuity and integrity risks are also presented with recent test results.

Field Data Analysis for a Range-Based Local Airport Monitor for WAAS
The Local Airport Monitor (LAM) concept has been proposed as an inexpensive and rapidly deployable implementation of LAAS. The LAM combines WAAS corrections with local monitoring to provide an error bound tight enough to enable Category I precision approach and landing. Two different strategies for LAM have been proposed–a range-based method and a position-domain method [1,2]. Both methods moni...
متن کاملThe Impact of Measurement Biases on Availability for CAT III LAAS
The original error description for the Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS) assumed unbiased measurement errors. In practice, however, satellite ranging errors may exhibit nonzero means. The LAAS error bound must account for these biases. This requirement places a particularly stringent demand on Category III (CAT III) LAAS, a future LAAS variant that will enable safe automated landing through...

The Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS) is a ground-based differential GNSS system designed to provide precision approach for aircraft landing at a LAASequipped airport. While most anomalies affecting the system can be mitigated in the range domain, positiondomain geometry screening is essential to mitigate threats from anomalous ionosphere spatial gradients. These can potentially cause large...
