AI Technical Summary
Existing aircraft landing assistance systems, particularly for vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, are susceptible to signal jamming, leading to inaccurate positioning and landing issues, especially in urban environments with multipath signals.
A method utilizing an on-board system and a ground system with synchronized timestamp information exchange, combined with distance and direction measurements, to achieve precise aircraft localization, incorporating an atomic clock and anti-jamming technology for enhanced accuracy.
The method enables sub-meter accuracy in aircraft positioning and precise time synchronization, effectively overcoming signal interference and ensuring safe landings even in challenging environments.
