AGARD Flight Test Techniques Series. Volume 18. Flight Testing of Radio Navigation Systems. (Les Essais en Vol des Systemes de Radionavigation)

Abstract

Civil as well as military aviation relies on a number of radio navigation systems including satellite systems in space. As new systems are developed extensive flight testing is needed to ensure that the design parameters are met. The approval of every new installation is dependent on flight tests. Moreover all installations require flight inspection in well-defined time periods. The development and application of cost effective flight test techniques and instrumentation systems including the test aircraft are presented. Room is given also to the adverse effects of radio wave propagation like multipath.
