Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for assisting the ground navigation of an aircraft on an airport.
- the aircraft To determine its position in flight, the aircraft generally comprises a positioning assembly which is associated with a satellite positioning system, such as GPS, GALILEO or similar.
- a positioning assembly generally comprises an antenna which is mounted on the roof of the aircraft, and a receiver which is connected to said antenna and which receives and processes the signals detected by the antenna.
- the on-board positioning assembly that is intended for flight navigation delivers a position in general every second, which is insufficient to create an impression of movement of the aircraft on the ground. display.
- the current flight performance standards, to which this positioning package responds do not cover the increased need for ground accuracy (generally less than 10 meters), nor the phenomena related to the environment encountered on the ground (presence of buildings and multiple reflections in particular).
- This set of positioning which is provided on the aircraft and which is perfectly adapted to navigation in flight is therefore not satisfactory for use in the context of an airport navigation of the aforementioned type.
- Another significant disadvantage of a usual airport navigation function relates more particularly to the display that is presented to the pilot.
- This display generally relates to an aircraft symbol that is presented at an estimated or measured position of the aircraft on an airport map, without indicating the orientation of said aircraft.
- the present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages. It relates to a device for assisting the ground navigation of an aircraft on an airplane, which is particularly effective and accurate.
- said device comprising:
- a navigation system which receives at least said current position and said map data, and which conforms these data
- a display system which receives information from said navigation system and which has on at least one display screen, at least a partial map of the airport and, on the latter, an aircraft symbol which is positioned at said current position , is remarkable in that it comprises, in addition, second means for determining the current heading of the aircraft, in that said navigation system receives said current heading and transmits it to said display system, and in that said display system is shaped to orient said airplane symbol on said partial map along said current course.
- the pilot is presented not only the current position of the aircraft on the displayed airport map, but also its orientation. This allows the pilot to make a very faithful representation of the real situation of the aircraft on the airport.
- said first means comprise:
- a pre-existing usual positioning assembly which is associated with a satellite positioning system, for example of GPS type, and which comprises at least one antenna mounted on the aircraft, as well as a first receiver which is linked to said antenna ;
- a second receiver (additional, not initially provided) which is also connected to said antenna and which is capable of determining, from signals received via said antenna, the current position of the aircraft; and an antenna coupler (not initially provided, which is added):
- said (second) receiver which is intended to determine the current position of the aircraft, uses the positioning assembly existing on the aircraft, which is already equipped with an antenna, which avoids to add a new antenna-on said aircraft, such an addition being generally difficult to achieve and above all very expensive.
- said antenna coupler it is possible to provide a second receiver which is much more efficient than said first receiver which is provided, in the usual way, on the aircraft for flight navigation (such a navigation in flight not requiring precision and a particularly high refresh rate). Thanks to these characteristics, it is possible to obtain a current position of the airplane which is particularly well adapted to a display relating to an airport navigation.
- said second receiver :
- said (second) receiver preferably of known type COTS GPS ("Commercial Of The Shelf" in English), to take advantage of the available improvements of the satellite positioning system.
- said second means comprise an inertial unit of the aircraft.
- This single figure is the block diagram of a ground navigation aid device according to the invention.
- the device 1 according to the invention and shown diagrammatically in the figure, is intended to help a pilot during a ground navigation of an aircraft, for example a transport aircraft, on an airport. To do this, this device 1 is of the type comprising:
- a database 3 of the usual type which includes cartographic data relating at least to said airport; a navigation system 4 which is connected via a link 5 to said database 3, which receives at least said current position of said means 2 and said map data of said database 3, and which sets conformity these data, that is to say that makes them able to be displayed simultaneously on the same medium; and
- said device 1 comprises, moreover, means
- These means 9 which preferably comprise an inertial unit of the aircraft, and in particular a unit or central unit of the ADIRU ("Air Data Inertial Reference Unit") type, transmit said current heading by means of a linking to said navigation system 4 which provides this information to said display system 6 which uses it at the display. More specifically, said display system 6 is formed so as to orient on said airport map (not shown in the figure), said aircraft symbol, according to said current course received. Thus, the display system 6 presents the pilot not only the current position of the aircraft on the displayed airport map, but also its orientation. This allows the pilot to make a very faithful representation of the real situation of the aircraft on the airport.
- ADIRU Air Data Inertial Reference Unit
- the device 1 uses a conventional positioning assembly 1 1 which already exists on the aircraft and which is customarily intended for flight navigation in particular.
- a conventional positioning system January 1 comprises at least one antenna 12 which is generally mounted on the roof of the aircraft, and a receiver 13 which is connected to this antenna 12.
- This positioning assembly 1 1 cooperates with a system conventional satellite positioning, for example GPS ("Global Positioning System” in English) or similar.
- said positioning assembly 11 is of known type GPSSU ("Global Positioning System Sensor Unit"). In particular, it provides 3D position GPS information, speed, direction, time, as well as information on the accuracy and integrity of this data.
- GPSSU Global Positioning System Sensor Unit
- the antenna 12 is mounted on the roof so as to see the satellites low on the horizon to maintain good visibility in turns.
- an antenna 12 is particularly sensitive to a common phenomenon called multitrajet, that can be encountered near buildings. Consequently, such a positioning assembly 11 is not adapted to be used, as it is, in the context of an airport navigation.
- said means 2 comprise according to the invention said positioning assembly 1 1 pre-existing.
- said means 2 also comprise: an additional receiver 14 which is connected to said antenna 12 of said set 11, as specified below, and which is intended to determine the current position of the aircraft (which is supplied to the navigation system 4), starting from signals received through said antenna 12; and
- Said antenna coupler 15 is chosen so as to ensure that the insulation between the outputs does not allow any disturbances coming from an output to pass through. It is also such that any attenuation of signal power is acceptable for both receivers 13 and 14.
- the input and outputs of this coupler 1 5 are connected by connectors adapted to said links 16, 17 and 18.
- said antenna coupler 15 it is possible to provide an additional receiver 14, which is much more efficient than said receiver 13, which is conventionally provided on the aircraft for flight navigation (and which therefore does not require a particularly high accuracy and refresh rate).
- said receiver 14 is integrated in the navigation system 4 and corresponds to a new generation GPS receiver, product COTS ("Commercial Off The Shelf" in English), which achieves higher performance than a GPS receiver aeronautics.
- COTS Common Off The Shelf
- such a GPS COTS receiver includes customary specific algorithms that increase the data refresh, reduce the phenomenon of multipath, and reduce the acquisition time and reacquisition.
- such a COTS GPS receiver may have a metric accuracy (95%) and a refresh rate that is greater than or equal to 20 Hz
- a conventional GPSSU aeronautical receiver exhibits generally a precision (95%) of the order of 15 to 30 meters and a refresh rate of 1 to 5 Hz. It will be noted that the performance of such a receiver 14 also makes it possible to avoid using an inertial source, to improve the refresh rate of the calculated current position.
- said receiver 14 is configurable.
- said receiver 14 it is possible to configure said receiver 14 to take advantage of the available improvements of the satellite positioning system: GBAS, SBAS, GALILEO, etc.
- said device 1 therefore uses only the antenna 12 of the positioning assembly 11, but not the receiver 13.
- this assembly 1 1 which continues otherwise to be used to perform its usual functions, in particular with regard to flight navigation, has been modified by integrating the coupler 1 5 between the antenna 12 and the receiver 13.
