Robust Relative All-in-View KCPT Solution for Aircraft Carrier Landing Operations.

Abstract

Providing precision guidance to an aircraft landing aboard a ship requires a robust and extremely accurate positioning system. Several carrier controlled approach aids (such as the AN/SPN-42A/46 Automatic Carrier Landing System) currently provide the required accuracy for the U.S. Navy. However, these systems experience reduced performance in precipitation and are difficult to maintain. A relative Global Positioning System (GPS) Kinematic Carrier Phase Tracking (KCPT) solution has the potential to provide a highly accurate solution for shipboard landing operations which is unaffected by weather.
