Abstract

Summary form only given, as follows. The kinematic GPS landing system (KGLS) uses differential GPS carrier phase data to navigate landing aircraft. As the aircraft overflies a “GPS marker beacon” during its approach, the KGLS sensor uses beacon data to resolve the carrier phase integer ambiguity. This deterministic method provides centimeter-level accuracy and high reliability on every approach
