Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of airborne collision avoidance, and particularly to an automated tester for a collision avoidance system based on radio frequency channel switching and a testing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] An airborne collision avoidance system (TCAS) is a crucial safety device in the modern aviation field. Its core function is to communicate with other aircraft in the air, monitor other aircraft in the surrounding airspace in real time, and effectively avoid in-air collision accidents. The basic function of this system is to periodically transmit interrogation signals, send interrogations to an air traffic control radar beacon system (ATCRBS) or an S-mode transponder with altitude reporting function, and listen for their response signals. By continuously tracking these response messages, the system can accurately obtain key parameters of surrounding aircraft, such as altitude, altitude change rate, distance, distance change rate, distance acceleration, and azimuth. After further complex calculations and analyses of the response signals, the system can accurately evaluate potential collision threats and promptly provide corresponding advisory information to the flight crew to ensure a certain safety distance between aircraft, thereby guaranteeing flight safety.
[0003] During actual operation, the acquired data will be combined with the current sensitivity level SL of the TCAS. This level parameter directly specifies the degree of protection that should be available around the aircraft, and further determines whether an intruding aircraft truly poses a threat. For each aircraft determined to be a threat, the system will perform separate processing. Based on the track data and coordination with other TCAS aircraft that may generate a resolution advisory (RA), the system will calculate and determine the lowest safe RA to ensure the maintenance of a safe interval during flight. When the threat test logic of the TCAS computer determines that a nearby aircraft may pose a potential collision or a close encounter, this logic will quickly decide on appropriate vertical maneuver strategies or restrictions on vertical maneuvers to ensure the safety interval of the TCAS aircraft and avoid dangerous situations.
[0004] To achieve the above functions, the TCAS airborne collision avoidance system needs to perform efficient data interaction with various other sensor systems on the aircraft, including a radio altimeter, a barometric altimeter, a global positioning system (GPS), a central control unit, etc. The bus architecture between the systems follows the ARINC429 international standard bus protocol, ensuring the compatibility and reliability of data transmission between different systems. Currently, the widely used TCAS airborne collision avoidance system in the market is the TCAS II system, and the unit under test (UUT) equipment mainly includes a TCAS transceiver host and an S-mode transponder.
[0005] In the whole machine production and the testing and maintenance of faulty parts, the testing of the UUT equipment of the TCAS airborne collision avoidance system is an essential process. However, the traditional testing method mainly relies on manpower to complete the performance and function testing, and there are many drawbacks in this way. On the one hand, the labor cost consumed is too high, and a large amount of manpower needs to be invested in the cumbersome testing operations; on the other hand, the whole testing process takes too much time, seriously affecting the production efficiency and the maintenance progress. In addition, the complexity of the operation process also increases the probability of errors, further reducing the accuracy and reliability of the testing.
[0006] In response to this current situation, some integrated airborne collision avoidance system testing equipment has emerged on the market. These devices are built by using general-purpose instruments and special-purpose instruments through network communication methods or General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) communication methods. Although the testing efficiency has been improved to a certain extent, there is still room for improvement. Summary of the Invention
