    Abstract: Embodiments of the subject application provide methods and systems for an autonomous aircraft guiding mobile unit (GMU). The GMU includes one or more light modules, one or more processing units, and one or more data storage mediums. The one or more data storage mediums include instructions which, when executed by the one or more processing units, cause the one or more processing units to receive control messages from a traffic control ground station (TCGS), the control messages assigning the GMU to an aircraft and controlling movement of the GMU and its assigned aircraft, and to provide light commands to a pilot of the assigned aircraft with the one or more light modules, the light commands directing movement of the assigned aircraft during taxiing.

    Abstract: A method of supplementing a satellite based augmentation system approach during low visibility conditions is provided. The method includes acquiring satellite range measurements and additional measurements from at least one additional onboard independent sensor. Core sigma values are assigned for satellite range measurements and for each additional measurement from the at least one additional onboard independent sensor. A weighted position solution is determined using the acquired satellite range measurements, the acquired additional measurements and the assigned core sigma values. A discriminator is applied that utilizes vehicle positions derived from the acquired satellite range measurements and from the additional measurements to determine if a fault is present in the weighted position solution. An alert is generated if an output of the discriminator is outside a set tolerance value needed for low visibility operation.

    Abstract: A method includes providing a radar sensor onboard a vehicle, and one or more active radar beacons around a landing site. Each beacon produces a pattern of one or more artificial echoes that is different from a pattern of echoes produced by others of the beacons. The method further includes guiding the vehicle toward the landing site by transmitting radar signals from the radar sensor to an area around the landing site; receiving return signals from the area around the landing site, including ground reflected signals and transmitted signals from each beacon; and determining whether artificial echoes are detected in the received return signals. When artificial echoes are detected, beacon parameters are loaded from an onboard active beacons database; patterns in the artificial echoes are identified and associated with corresponding beacons from the database; and a slant range to each of the beacons is estimated through the patterns.
