Optimum Integration of Aircraft Navigation Systems

Abstract: A current problem in aircraft navigation is determining how to effect alow cost navigation system consistent with required mission operationswhich will render a high degree of accuracy and reliability. One wayto achieve this is through optimum integration of equipment,subsystems, and computer mechanizations. Consistent with this approach,the overall objectives of this paper are to show the advantages of anoptimally integrated aircraft navigation system, and to illustrate howto effect a low cost navigation system with high accuracy performance.An integrated aircraft navigation system employing a Kalman optimumestimation filter is configured and analyzed in detail. The results ofthe analysis clearly indicate how to achieve high accuracy performanceusing low cost subsystems; namely, via optimum systems integration.

System integration as a programming function

Abstract: System integration is the programming function that, during the development of a system, interfaces the separately programmed and tested functions. The inclusion of an integration function in building a programming system facilitates the logical addition of functions to the system, provides an independent view for reporting the progress of the project, and ensures that adequate interfacing of all system components will take place prior to release of the product.This paper describes the advantages to be gained by employing the integration function and the problems that can be circumvented as a result. Among the areas discussed are the setting in which system integration functions, the responsibilities of an integration group, and the goals that system integration can achieve.
