Low Altitude Navigation Augmentation System.
Abstract
The Low Altitude Navigation Augmentation Concept provides the pilot with an electronic map display on the aircraft's HUD, so that head down operations (looking at maps or moving map displays) are not required. In addition to the display concept, bearing measurements to known landmarks can be utilized to update the navigation system and also to estimate errors between the navigation system coordinate frame and the map coordinate frame. The concept for the LANA was developed by CSDL under IR&D funding to determine the lowest performance INS usable in the LANA configuration. The simulation configuration described in this plan, however, utilizes higher performance equipment; since the higher performance equipment will be procured for the F-16 and A-10 aircraft. In this report, a plan is developed to simulate the LANA concept on an Air Force simulator. The simulation will be used to verify both system performance and pilot work load under realistic flight conditions.
