Implementation Of The Innovative Radiolocalization System VCS-MLAT (Voice Communication System – Multilateration)

Abstract

In the article the concept of the radiolocalization subsystem of VHF communication for aviation VCS-MLAT (Voice Communication System - Multilateration) is presented. The distributed localization system will estimate the position of the aircrafts by the audio signals transmitted in aircraft band (118-136 MHz). This paper presents the measurements to check if voice airband communication can be used to estimate the position. Also main assumptions of the project and describes the structure and scheme of the localization modules are presented. At the end of the article the preparation for the final test in the real environment is concluded.
