Trade Study Report for Advanced Survival Avionics Package.
Abstract
This report discusses in critical detail all of the potential systems proposed for the Advanced Survival Avionics Program and supports in great detail the reasoning for going with the prototype brassboard models configuration in the proposal entitled Search and Rescue Avionics Package (Phase IIB). The models shall be representative of two major, prime item equipment groups: The distress Incident Locator Group (DILG) and the Survivor Locator Group (SLG). The models will demonstrate the feasibility to provide, at a central location, distress coordinates (Lat/Long) and the aircraft identification. In final form, an aircraft deployed package (DILG) will receive Omega navigational signals, combine pre-inputted aircraft identification data and retransmit the data via satellite and airborne relay to a Search and Rescue (SAR) Center. Upon receipt of this information, the SLG package consisting of a Survivor Locator Device (SLD) and companion equipment aboard a Rescue Aircraft will provide cooperative, aircraft commanded tone coded response from SLD real time, multi and single target display of range and bearing to the SLD (or survivor). When the aircraft is within approximately two miles, the exact position of the survivor will also be displayed.
