Analysis of Army Operational Requirements for the Tactical Microwave Landing System

Abstract

A definitive set of test requirements are developed for the U.S. Army evaluation of the Microwave Landing System (MLS). The approach taken in to (1) access the Army operational requirements for an aircraft landing system in the 1980-1990 era, (2) compare the 1980-1990 operational requirements to the FAA engineering requirements for the tactical MLS configuration, (3) recommend specific tests to be made by the Army during the MLS Phase-3 evaluation, and (4) review of five computer models for suitability to calculate MLS guidance accuracy in a multipath propagations environment.
