Evaluation of Alternatives for Army Precision Landing System. Ground Guidance.
Abstract
This report deals with current and planned aircraft guidance systems as they apply to Army tactical precision landings in the combat environment. Self-contained avionics systems and less sophisticated systems have been evaluated. Ground guidance is defined as a means to safely, efficiently, and rapidly aid in the movement of aircraft from their transition point of landing to a final destination. The study addressed the following four tasks: 1) Review Army Requirements (Ground Guidance) by research of current documentation and by extensive interviews. 2) Identify alternative systems through specifications and discussions with government and industrial personnel. 3) Evaluate systems by conducting aviator and engineer evaluations. and 4) Identify and document best approach for Army use in the tactical environment.
