摘要: |
The emergence and development of advanced technologies and vehicle types has created a growing demand for the introduction
of new forms of flight operations. These new and increasingly complex operational paradigms such as Advanced and Urban
Air Mobility (AAM/UAM) present regulatory authorities and the aviation community with several design and implementation
challenges – particularly for highly autonomous vehicles. An overarching and daunting task is finding methods to integrate
these emerging operations without compromising safety or disrupting traditional airspace operations. A shift toward a more
predictive risk mitigation capability becomes critical to meet this challenge. This paper focus on the development and testing
of a prognostic service aimed at estimating the quality of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) performance for an
autonomous aircraft in complex environments. The intent of this function is to proactively reduce a flight operations risk of
exposure to states that may induce poor or unacceptable navigation system performance by factoring in estimates of GNSS
quality into pre-flight and/or in-flight route planning. Methodologies for producing quality estimates are specified and results
are provided for selected simulation and flight test cases. |
