ABSTRACT:
A relative GPS landing system is provided for approach and landing of aircraft where an accurate site survey of the GPS platform is unavailable. Data containing information on all GPS satellites in view is uplinked from a ground station to an aircraft. A relative solution is derived at the aircraft. Based upon the calculated solution, aircraft guidance signals are generated for approach and landing of the aircraft at a desired point.
