Selected Aspects of Using the Telemetry Method in Synthesis of RelNav System for Air Traffic Control

Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2019 Dec 27;17(1):213. doi: 10.3390/ijerph17010213.

Abstract

Accuracy is an important factor in air traffic management which is why high requirements are necessary for each navigation system. The aim of this article is to describe the principles of the RelNav system and telemetry and their accuracy. We present the algorithms of the relative navigation system, which could be used for air traffic control in the case of the unavailability of satellite navigation system signals. This article sums up the different positioning methods, and deals with the accuracy of the relative navigation system (RelNav). Furthermore, the article considers the factors that influence the positioning accuracy. For this task, a computer simulation was created to evaluate the accuracy of the telemetric method. Next, we discuss the principles of telemetry and algorithms for calculating the position of the flying object (FO).

Keywords: accuracy; air traffic management; position error; pseudo-range; relative navigation.
