چکیده
Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) is seeing renewed interest for its ability to support future aviation navigation and surveillance needs. It is one of the primary technologies being examined by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Alternative Positioning, Navigation and Timing (APNT) project to support needs to provide an alternative to global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) in the Next Generation Air Transport System (NextGen) airspace.

Distance measuring equipment (DME)/Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN) has been serving aviation for approximately 60 years. It has been a primary navigation aid in the national airspace (NAS) for much of that time with its basic operations little changed since its inception. However, future airspace will demand greater navigation performance to support higher traffic levels and more efficient oper...

As air traffic continues to grow, the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) plays an increasingly important role in enabling the air space to efficiently handle the increase load. In fact, it will be the primary and often the only system capable of supporting key capabilities for the future airspace. However, GNSS is vulnerable to radio frequency interference (RFI) and spoofing, so an alter...
