Playing an important role in navigation test, radio navigation generator is widely used in the people/military plane. But traditional equipment composed of analog circuit presents low accuracy and poor reliability. A new kind of digital navigation signal generator is designed in this paper. It receives data and commands from PC by MicroBlaze embedded soft processor of Xilinx company and demodul...

We report the design and implement of a land robot whose Tekkotsu/Create system is modified to support GPS-guided navigation and radio-sensing based navigation . The project is a moderate success with both GPS and radio-sensing navigation algorithms achieve similar navigation performance.

The current Federal Radio Navigation Plan presents a plan that includes phasing out of existing radio-navigation aids as part of the transition to sole-means-GPS navigation in the United States. GPS based systems are also being envisioned as becoming the primary means of air traffic control resulting in the retirement of older primary and secondary surveillance radar (SSR) systems. This paper d...

Dr. Andriy Konovaltsev received his engineer diploma and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Kharkov State Technical University of Radio Electronics, Ukraine in 1993 and 1996, correspondingly. He joined the Institute of Communications and Navigation of DLR in 2001. His research interests are in array processing for satellite navigation systems, signal processing algorithms for navig...

This document presents a provisional domain model for radio navigation data source objects, radio navigation, guidance, and flight director software. We use the model to describe relevant portions of the SOA (Special Operations Aircraft) and CT2 (Combat Talon II) as a first-order validations.
