Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of civil aviation technology, specifically to an IRS / DME / LOC integrated navigation method and integrated navigation terminal for civil aircraft. Background Technology

[0002] Both domestic and international civil aviation sectors are promoting the operation of performance-based navigation (PBN), which requires the aircraft's area navigation (RNAV) system to provide real-time and continuous positioning and guidance functions.

[0003] Currently, the RNAV system of civil aircraft typically fuses navigation data from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Inertial Reference System (IRS, also known as Inertial Navigation System), Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Beacon (VOR), and Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) to calculate the aircraft's position. However, during the aircraft's approach phase, GNSS signals are easily interfered with in the near-ground region, VOR signals have poor availability at low altitudes, and it is difficult to find two DME navigation stations with suitable geometry for DME / DME positioning, thus affecting the continuity of RNAV functionality.

[0004] The Localizing Beacon (LOC) and Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) signals provided by the Instrument Landing System (ILS) offer high accuracy, availability, continuity, and integrity as navigation sources. Fusing these signals with navigation data from the Inertial Reference System (IRS) allows the RNAV system to calculate precise positions. While some advanced transport aircraft abroad offer LOC / DME navigation, their underlying mechanisms, particularly the methods for fusing them with IRS navigation data, have not been publicly disclosed.

[0005] The ground system of the Instrument Landing System (ILS) consists of a Localizer (LOC) station located at the end of the runway, and a Glide Slope Beacon (GS) station and Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) station located at the runway threshold. Figure 1 As shown, Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport has two runways and a total of four ILS systems are deployed, two for each runway. Aircraft can choose any runway and approach from either end using the corresponding ILS system. The ILS ground system with the identification code ICR is used by aircraft approaching from south to north (02R) on the second runway. Its GS and DME stations are located next to the south end of the runway, and the LOC station is located on the outer extension line at the north end of the runway.

[0006] The aircraft's ILS equipment receives the LOC and GS signals and calculates the depth of modulation (DDM) difference between the 90Hz and 150Hz modulated waves to indicate the aircraft's deviation from the expected approach path in both the horizontal and vertical directions. The DME equipment measures and outputs the slant distance between the aircraft and the DME station.

[0007] According to the current Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) for ILS / DME approach procedures, the ranging information from the airborne DME transponder is typically used in conjunction with the aircraft altitude information measured by the radio altimeter (PA) to determine the aircraft's deviation from the expected approach path in the vertical profile. Therefore, current applications merely use DME ranging information as a substitute for the pointing beacon (MB) signal, without fully exploring its potential in radio positioning applications. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is that current application methods only use DME ranging information as a substitute for the pointing beacon (MB) signal, without exploring its potential in radio positioning applications. The purpose is to provide an IRS / DME / LOC integrated navigation method and integrated navigation terminal for civil aircraft, which solves the problems of poor availability of VOR / DME, DME / DME and other land-based positioning methods and GNSS positioning, as well as the problem of low accuracy of pure inertial navigation positioning.
